What to eat, what to avoid, and how to spot early warning signs after a tooth extraction.
Most extractions heal beautifully on their own, but a few simple habits make a big difference. Stay upright for the first day, avoid hot drinks and straws (they dislodge the protective clot), eat soft cool foods, and take prescribed medication on schedule. If pain peaks on day 3–4 instead of fading, call us — that may be a dry socket and is easily treated.
Whether you're starting your dental journey or revisiting a long-postponed treatment, the most important step is the first conversation. We're happy to walk through your options without pressure — and without charging for the consultation itself.
"Honest dentistry begins with an honest consult — clear options, clear pricing, and a treatment plan you actually understand."
If you'd like to discuss your specific case, you can book a free consult below or send us a quick message on WhatsApp.
