Am 5 days post-op.  Pain, pain go away.  Probably should have had an oral surgeon instead of my general dentist extract.  Had to have tooth removed in 3 pieces.  Need more.  How do I tell my dentist I want next done  by oeal surgeon without him possibly flipping out?  Off my anti-coag for 7 days prior to surgery.  Please help!

### output:

Hello, Thanks for your query. Take painkillers as prescribed. Apply an ice bag to the affected area immediately after the procedure to keep down swelling. Apply ice for 10 minutes at a time. Relax for at least 24 hours after the extraction. Limit activity for the next day or two. Avoid rinsing or spitting forcefully for 24 hours after the extraction to avoid dislodging the clot that forms in the socket. After 24 hours, rinse with your mouth with a solution made of 1/2 teaspoon salt and 8 ounces of warm water. Do not Chat Doctor. Do not smoke, which can inhibit healing. Eat soft foods, such as soup, pudding, yogurt, or applesauce the day after the extractionContinue to brush and floss your teeth, and brush your tongue, but be sure to avoid the extraction site. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
