After a dental procedure, it’s important that you give the area time to properly heal. Try to eat soft foods that won’t scrape the procedure site or hurt your mouth to chew. You should avoid drinking through straws as well as anything else that might disturb the clot.
If you have any swelling in the area, you can manage it by using a cold compress.
It’s important that you keep the area clean and maintain your normal oral hygiene routine during the healing process. Clean the area gently so as not to disrupt the clot, but make sure that no food particles get stuck in the area as this can lead to infection.
