A tooth was removed: what to do now?

Unfortunately, the procedure for removing teeth is unpleasant, but there is no escape from it. How to avoid complications and negative reactions after tooth extraction?

After a tooth is removed, a hole is formed in its place, which is gradually filled with blood (this is a protective function of the body). Over time, the blood coagulates and turns into a clot, which should completely cover the bone that has become unprotected after tooth extraction. Over the course of several months, the blood is absorbed and healthy bone tissue remains in its place. If the bone and gums sag a little at the site of the extracted tooth, this is normal. Most often, the healing process proceeds without complications, without causing any pain or discomfort to the patient. In some cases, fever, aching pain, prolonged healing, systematic visits to the dentist and other side effects are possible.

When treating stomatitis, it is most effective to use iodine-based medications. They have a disinfecting effect and can be used in childhood. “Iodinol” for stomatitis is one of the best medicines and, when used correctly, is safe for the patient. If you use the medicine according to the instructions, you can cure inflammation of the oral cavity and nearby tissues in a matter of days.

The drug “Iodinol” is good at eliminating ulcers in the mouth, also providing a general antiseptic effect.

Indications for use

The use of Iodinol in gynecology is limited to antiseptic treatment of the surgical surface.

For myalgia , injuries, infectious and inflammatory lesions of the skin, the medication is used externally.

For varicose and trophic ulcers , chemical and thermal burns of I-II degree, purulent otitis media , chronic tonsillitis and atrophic rhinitis , it is used topically. For tertiary syphilis atherosclerosis , it is possible to use the medicine internally.

Iodinol for rinsing

In their practice, otolaryngologists often use Iodinol as a rinse. You just need to keep in mind that rinsing is not carried out with a pure solution, but with a prepared mixture of several drops. This procedure ensures the treatment of the tonsils. For chronic tonsillitis of any etiology, such rinsing allows you to relieve the severity of inflammation and wash off the pathogen from the surface of the porous tissue, disinfecting the surface of the tonsils for a while.

Additionally, iodine heating procedures may be prescribed. They involve applying the solution directly to the tonsils. Iodine, irritating the surface of the glands, activates blood flow in the capillaries and vessels, due to which the local temperature rises. Harmful microorganisms cannot multiply in such an environment, which contributes to a speedy recovery.

In addition to treating tonsils, Iodinol can be used as a component for preparing a solution for rinsing the nose. This product is also used to disinfect the walls of the respiratory tract and wash away most of the germs from them.

Contraindications

contraindications are known :

hypersensitivity to iodine ;
history of allergic responses.

Iodinol can be prescribed to children only from 5 years of age.

For urticaria , chronic pyoderma , adenoma , pulmonary tuberculosis , acne , furunculosis , nephrosis , nephritis , hemorrhagic diathesis, taking the medication orally is contraindicated.

Patient reviews of iodinol

“Iodinol” has been familiar to me since childhood. My mother also used a solution of this remedy and rubbed my throat when I was sick. She made a cotton swab on her finger, soaked it in the solution and smeared it on my throat. This procedure is not pleasant and not every child can handle it! And I make a rinse solution for my children. A few drops per glass of water. I gargle myself in a different proportion - a tablespoon per glass of water. “Iodinol” tastes unpleasant, but the effect is worth it! I didn't notice any side effects. The cost of the drug is a penny, 15 rubles. for 100 ml. The benefits are obvious. I recommend!

I have had experience with Iodinol for a long time. My mother used it when she was a child. Previously, it was just a mesh on the neck and chest area. Now I buy it myself all the time. We always have it in our first aid kit. It is very convenient that at present it is sold in the form of a spray. When my throat starts to hurt, I immediately start spraying it. The best remedy for a sore throat for me! It helps better than all kinds of lollipops and a sea of other remedies. I also spray it on children when the doctor reports a red throat. And sometimes, even when I have a cold, I immediately start spraying it on my children’s necks. So as not to launch. It will not be worse. The price is small. I recommend it.

Side effect

Taking the solution orally causes increased sweating , rapid heartbeat, nervousness , insomnia , diarrhea (typical for older people), and allergic responses. Application to skin may cause irritation.

Long-term treatment of extensive wound surfaces can lead to iodism (salivation, urticaria, acne, Quincke's edema , lacrimation).

How to rinse your mouth

Rinsing the mouth is both a hygienic and therapeutic procedure. For rinsing, pharmaceutical products, self-prepared decoctions, tinctures, and solutions are used. Ready-made solutions - rotokan, hydrogen peroxide, chlorhexidine, furatsilin, miramistin - have proven antiseptic properties.

Homemade herbal remedies additionally soothe and relieve pain in inflamed tissues.

What to do after tooth extraction?

According to the doctor's recommendation, after 15-20 minutes you need to spit out the gauze balls from your mouth. They are usually left if the bleeding from the socket has not completely stopped.
You should not eat food in the next 2-3 hours. Food injures the hole.
In addition, you should avoid eating too cold or hot food, steam rooms, saunas, and cold hardening. Sudden temperature changes provoke dilation and constriction of blood vessels, resulting in bleeding and pain. In the same way, alcohol can do this, which also needs to be excluded.
You will temporarily have to give up aggressive tooth rinses, which can destroy the clot.
You must try not to injure the blood clot in the socket to avoid inflammation. Most often this happens while brushing your teeth. Of course, it is necessary to brush your teeth after extraction, but only carefully and carefully.
If your temperature rises after tooth extraction, you should immediately inform your doctor.

How to relieve pain after tooth extraction?

When the effect of the anesthetic begins to wear off, the pain will return. In case of severe pain or a low pain threshold in the patient, it is necessary to take painkillers.

As a rule, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (diclofenac, voltaren, indamethacin, nimesulide, ibuprofen) are taken, which will also help relieve swelling and inflammation. It is worth remembering that long-term use of these drugs is contraindicated due to a decrease in the number of leukocytes in the blood and complications from the stomach. Most drugs in this group should be taken with omeprazole.

In addition, you can resort to using a topical drug in solution or lozenges: benzydamine hydrochloride (or tantum verde).

How to stop bleeding?

In some cases, if it is not possible to see a doctor, you can stop the bleeding yourself.

A tight tampon twisted from cotton wool or gauze should be placed on the bleeding hole. Then squeeze your jaws tightly and do not loosen them for 15-20 minutes. If after such a procedure the tampon is not completely saturated with blood, then the bleeding has been stopped. A blood clot has formed at the site of the bleeding, which cannot be disturbed for at least a few hours.
In case of a fiasco with the previous method, the procedure must be repeated again. Only the tampon now needs to be soaked in a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution.
If the bleeding is too severe, then you should consult a doctor. At the dentist's appointment, electrocoagulation may be performed or stitches may be placed.
If after all these manipulations the bleeding does not stop, you need to use medications that increase blood clotting. Prolonged bleeding (several days) entails urgent hospitalization.

Emergency situations after tooth extraction

If your cheek is swollen. The infection entered the soft tissue and caused periostitis, which led to swelling of the soft tissue. A doctor's examination is required.
If your gums hurt. In any case, there will be swelling, but if it bothers the patient, it is necessary to visit a doctor.
If bleeding resumes. When it continues for a long time, it can cause anemia. At the appointment, the doctor may cauterize the bleeding vessel, administer vitamin K preparations, or use a hemostatic sponge.
If the stitches have clearly fallen apart. No one is immune from such a problem as cutting stitches, because putting them in the mouth is extremely inconvenient. Again, you need to urgently visit a doctor.
