Toothache
Clean the area as much as possible with warm salt water. If suitable, take an analgesic (Tylenol). If there is facial swelling that makes jaw opening difficult, try and visit the dentist immediately. If, however, you experience difficulty in breathing and feel neck swelling, visit a hospital immediately.
Bleeding after extraction
Be sure to inform the dentist of any dental ailments you may suffer specially from any bleeding disorders, blood thinners or advanced liver disease.
After extraction, make sure you don’t spit or rinse, suck on a straw or smoke. If you have bleeding after extraction, place a gauze or tea bag on the area with pressure for 10 minutes and swallow your saliva. If bleeding persists, you may need to see your dentist.
