Post-Extraction Care and Anesthesia Management
Application of Anesthetic Ointment
Apply anesthetic ointment to the extraction site for primary tooth removal.
Children may experience a numb sensation due to the anesthesia.
The anesthesia typically lasts for about 30 minutes.
Carefully monitor the child to prevent chewing while the anesthesia is active.
Bleeding Control and Eating Precautions
The gauze placed for bleeding control should be kept in place for 30 minutes.
The child should avoid spitting and swallow saliva instead.
On the first day after extraction, food intake should be carefully controlled.
If bleeding does not stop properly, excessive bleeding may occur.
Eating Restrictions and Precautions
Avoid using a straw for at least 24 hours after extraction.
A clot will form on the gums, and if it is dislodged, there is a risk of bacterial infection.
If the clot comes off, swelling, bleeding, and pain may occur.
Carefully observe the child’s condition for any signs of complications.
Duration of Anesthesia and Meal Adjustments
In some cases, an injection anesthesia may be administered.
The effects of injection anesthesia may last up to two hours.
The child should avoid eating while anesthesia is still active.
Close attention is necessary for a safe and smooth recovery.
Avoiding Irritating Foods
Spicy and hot foods should be avoided on the first day after extraction.
Such foods can negatively impact the healing process.
Adjust the child's diet to support proper recovery.
Maintaining healthy eating habits is essential for overall well-being.
