• Swelling
• Apply ice packs outside your mouth for every 20
  minutes for up to two days to minimise swelling,
  bruising or any discomfort.

• Bleeding
• Bite down a gauze pad or place your fingers on a
  gauze pad over the extraction spot for 30 minutes
  after surgery.
• Alternatively, use a dampened tea bag for the
  same amount of time. The tannic acid in the tea
  contracts the bleeding vessels, which helps to
  set the blood clot.

• Diet
• After bleeding stops, drink lots of lukewarm or
  cold fluids to keep your body hydrated. Then,
  start with soft foods such as pudding, eggs,
  mashed potatoes and cooked cereals and eat
  regular meals as advised by your oral surgeon
  Sydney.

• Gently rinse your mouth with diluted mouth wash
  or salt water. Limit eating, drinking and talking

  as smoking or spitting as long as there is
  bleeding.
