I understand the drama
Went thru same drama some years back, I got mine extracted at Luth and was told to use warm water and salt.
Don't spit anything out from your mouth,I mean you have to swallow anything including the blood along with the saliva.
Add salt to the warm water and put it inside inside your mouth don't swallow it oo just bend your head to the extracted spot and let it warm the gum immediately you feel that too much of hotness just spit it out and wait for some minutes then repeat it again like twice in the morning and twice in the evening.
I did mine like that for 3days it wasn't funny at all to eat sef was war then coz my food then was anything liquid or soft coz I was very careful so that anything I intend swallowing won't go to the wounded gum side lol
But after all this no more pains or crying in the night or swollen jaw.
And use the pain drugs too
Good luck to your new journey of freedom from toothache

thanks bro I will start using warm water and salt tomorrow. must the water be very hot
How hot must the water be
And then you said I should not spit out I have spit out today oo but not much
So I must not spit till the wound will heal or only today

iamjack0812:
Not too hot like eba water na just moderately warm since it's for your mouth use
You ought to be told that you shouldn't spit anything out, you swallow anything within your mouth coz the hole is much opened and is very fresh and opening it while spitting can welcome dust or anything and may cause another thing.
My time then I swallowed anything along with the blood thick clot or whenever
I went to toilet sef my poo was so reddish sef coz of the blood I swallowed.

Post tooth extraction instructions

1. No spitting out and don't use a straw, it can cause negative pressure which will make the site bleed more.

2. Please your drugs promptly, you can add paracetamol to the painkiller you were given(I am assuming you were given Ibuprofen or diclofenac)

3. You can always go back to your dentist tomorrow if the pain doesn't subside.

4. Please start warm saline mouth bathe tomorrow (24 hours after the extraction was done)

Boil water (preferably in a flask since you have to do it many times daily), now take a small cup, pour hot water into it, add a teaspoon of salt, mix it and please let the water cool down a bit (it should not be too hot or too cool.

Now take a sip and make sure it gets to the extraction site, you can bend your head if it is an upper tooth.

You are not gargling, just hold the water there and spit it out when it is cold. If you gargle or shake your head too much, you may shake the blood clot in the socket out and cause bleeding

Each cup should have about 5-6 big sips, but each cup is only once and you are to do it at least six times daily, so that will be at least 6 cups daily.

Before and after meals, before bed and any other time you can do it.

Warm water and salt really helps to ease pain and promote healing and is very very very important after any tooth extraction.

Best wishes

My last question is can I use brush on it
Because my mouth is smelling

Sewasaunt:
Yes please, you can brush your teeth but avoid the extraction site.

That's also an advantage of the warm water and salt especially after eating, it helps to clean the mouth.

I hope the pain is gone now?

iamjack0812:
My last quoting is this
Since u removed it yesterday leave it smelling for the next two days then after the third day you can use a very soft brush coz of the blood clotted gum and don't gaggle too much so it won't afftected the blood clotted area and be doing the warm water and salt thing coz it's the best method for the post extraction process

kowasco:

the only problem now is
When I use hot water on it
I feel a lot of pains
And today makes it a week already
Is that how I will continue to feel pain when I use warm water on it

iamjack0812:
You still feeling pains after a week is beyond my understanding I will advice you go back to where you got it extracted and complain to them

kowasco:

Ok I feel pain only when I use warm water on it
Only for like 20 minutes

kowasco:

Yes it's but the only problem now is
When I use hot water on it
I feel a lot of pains
And today makes it a week already
Is that how I will continue to feel pain when I use warm water on it

Sewasaunt:




Please are you using hot water or warm water?
Is the salt too much?

The ideal thing is that you should use warm water and a tea spoon of salt.

Since the pain is only on using warm water and salt, I am guessing you are almost healed.

You can go back to your dentist, if you are sufficiently healed you can reduce the number of times you do the warm saline mouth bathe or stop it.

kowasco:
Please nairalanders
I removed my teeth today and I was told to use warm water and salt on it
But I forgot to ask if I can use it on my teeth today
I want to start tomorrow but I'm really feeling pains right now
I was given some drugs though I have used it
I will have to use it again in the night
But this pains is too much

Wow! I'am thinking of seeing a dentist too because I started having tooth ache about 4 days ago. Funny thing is, it only starts aching from 2.30am in the morning and stops by 7am. Wicked thing is just bent on depriving me of sleep. I do gaggle with salt+warm water solution and it relieves the aching for som hours so I can sleep. Main issue now is I'am just scared of this whole tooth-removing, refilling process. I heard the pains from the process is mad! Someone suggested I buy a medication called "Touch & Go", I dnt knw how good that is. The ache isn't as bad as people explain yet though, I don't have a swollen jaw, nor headaches or anything...
