What Precaution Should Be Taken After The Extraction Of Wisdom Tooth?
Hello Doctor,
My husband got his wisdom tooth extracted because the counterpart on the lower jaw hadn't come. He is 35 y. He is not having any problems as of now, but are there any precautions we should be taking?
Was the extraction necessary? Sorry too late to ask this, but just curious.

yes it is advisable to get the wisdom tooth extracted as it is going to supra erupt in the absence of counterpart tooth.soon after extraction the patient should be kept on pain killer and antibiotic for a period of 5 days.warm gargles should be done. hard food should be avoided for a week.
