Recovery process after tooth extraction

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Guo Huijie
The recovery process after tooth extraction includes initial hemostasis, blood clot formation, gradual wound healing, and regeneration of surrounding tissues. After tooth extraction, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid strenuous activities and irritating foods to promote wound healing. Generally, mild pain and swelling may occur for a few days following the procedure and will gradually subside. Over time, the extraction site will heal progressively, and the surrounding tissues will return to normal. If discomfort persists, seek medical attention promptly.
