During this time, it’s important to avoid strenuous activities, smoking, drinking through a straw, and foods that require immense chewing. These actions can disrupt the formation of the blood clot that’s required for healing. Our dentists will provide you with detailed post-care instructions, including how to keep the area clean so you can experience a speedy recovery.
