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.
Beginning 24 hours after having your tooth pulled, you can gently rinse the area with warm salt water (1/2 teaspoon of salt in a cup of water) after meals and before bed. Don't be too vigorous. Doing so may disrupt the blood clot or new tissue that has formed. Salt water, or even just tap water, makes the right choice.
