SWELLING: Swelling is a normal occurrence after surgery and will not reach its maximum until 2-3 days after surgery. It can be minimized by using a cold pack, ice bag or a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a towel and applied firmly to the cheek adjacent to the surgical area.
Any kind of suction in the mouth can dislodge that blood cloth and cause the healing to be late, or even create a painful condition known as a dry socket. It is recommended not to drink from a straw for three days after a tooth extraction because that is the peak time when a dry socket can occur. Any suction in the mouth is not recommended during those three days, which includes spitting, and especially smoking. The information above should be used as a reference only.
