Inflammation after tooth extraction is a common oral condition that requires prompt treatment. When inflammation occurs, patients should seek medical attention immediately for an examination by a dentist to determine the cause. Based on the underlying cause, the dentist will provide an appropriate treatment plan, which may include oral disinfection, medication, or surgical intervention. Patients should also develop good oral hygiene habits, such as brushing teeth regularly, rinsing the mouth, and improving diet, to effectively prevent oral diseases.
