The treatment of impacted teeth, which is a serious threat to oral and dental health, provides many advantages. Although the treatment of impacted teeth is sometimes overlooked, the following issues show how important impacted tooth treatment is:

• Tooth loss caused by impacted teeth is prevented
• Tooth decay is prevented
• Prevents the formation of cysts and tumors in the mouth
• Helps maintain a healthy tooth alignment
• Eliminates bad breath problems and ensures cleaner teeth

The things to be done in the process after the impacted tooth operations are as serious as the impacted tooth operation and should be followed carefully. The following points are the recommendations that should definitely be followed after the impacted tooth operation:

• After the operation, you should eat with the other side within the first 24 hours.
• The tampon placed in the area of ​​the operated tooth is removed in about 30 minutes. Unless otherwise told by the doctor, nothing should be put in place of the tampon.
• After the impacted tooth operation, nothing should be eaten or drunk within the first 2 hours. In the period after 2 hours, only soft foods, preferably liquid-based meals should be consumed.
• In case of smoking, a break should be made for at least 24 hours.
• In the first two days, it is normal to have bleeding in the form of small leaks. However, if the bleeding continues to increase seriously and if suspicious situations occur, it is absolutely necessary to inform the doctor.
• Although swelling is normal after the operation, a cold compress with an ice pack can be applied from the outside to the part where the impacted tooth was pulled during the first day.
• As a result of the impacted tooth operation, the sutures in the mouth are usually removed at the end of the 7th day. At the end of this process, the doctor can be contacted to have the sutures removed.
• Blood thinners can be seen as dangerous. In this process, absolutely no blood thinners should be used.

It is important to inform the doctor in case of severe pain, excessive swelling and sudden, unexpected bleeding. Although bleeding, pain and swelling are partially normal as a result of the operation, the possibility of unexpected situations should not be ignored.

As a result of the impacted tooth operation, various pressures can be applied to the tissues around the tooth, and there may be swelling, bruising and pain in places. In the initial period, such situations are considered normal and should be seen as part of the healing process. However, if the bruising, swelling and pain increase and continue without a break, it may be necessary to inform the doctor about this issue. In order to minimize these pains, ice compress application is preferred. As a solution to toothache, it is necessary to use the drugs given for the treatment process in a complete and disciplined way. Painkillers should be used appropriately in dosage and time.
