After oral surgery, Greater Louisville Oral &
Maxillofacial Surgery Associates suggest you protect the clot.

A blood clot should form in the wisdom tooth extraction site; this needs to be protected for proper healing. Healing is a delicate process and requires the restriction of certain activities; otherwise the blood clot can be dislodged.

At Greater Louisville Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Associates we suggest you avoid the following after wisdom tooth extraction:

  • Sucking or blowing motions
  • Smoking
  • Drinking through a straw for 24 hours
  • Rinsing your mouth vigorously the first 24 hours
  • Mouthwash (until our team approves its use)
  • Cleaning teeth next to the extracted site for the rest of the day
  • Strenuous exercise for 24 hours
  • Hot liquids or alcoholic beverages
