After the cold or hot extraction

Many patients after tooth extraction, the doctor confessed is cold, but also heat, which first haste forgot what they can no longer go back to ask. Some people even assume that faster is good, of course, should heat it! Who would have thought just the opposite, twelve days after tooth extraction badly swollen, and a doctor ... ...

How did this happen? Tooth extraction surgery, like other invasive surgery, periodontal tooth socket left in the wound, a wound will naturally bleed, oozing. In general, the periodontal tissue around the wound, such as gums, will spontaneously curl, covering the Dental Artcles wound, and a blood clot in his next lifetime, this blood clot formation of collagen fibers within a three-dimensional "net", the blood cells. " Network "which then by the new fibrous tissue, granulation tissue replacement, and calcification of bone, so that the tooth extraction wound completely healed, the formation of bone, fill the extraction wound. This process is summarized as follows: bleeding → → soft fibrous clot, granulation tissue (machine based) → calcified bone.

Understand the above process, not difficult to understand cold, hot role and timing. Just one or two days extraction, tooth extraction wound is bleeding, oozing period, you should "stop" leakage, reducing local blood supply, the natural approach should be taken cold. If the child pulled the teeth, general practitioners make their parents go out to buy cold drinks for the children to eat, it is the truth. In addition, the use of ice packs, cold towels, cold cheek where the tooth extraction wound, you can also play the role.

Extraction thirty-four days later, when the wound has been leaking into the stage of wound repair, and this time, there should be increased to improve the blood supply and metabolism, "local heating" natural beneficial to wound recovery. At this point, therapy can be used (infrared radiation, hyperthermia), take hot towels, hot packs and other ways to enhance local blood circulation, increase metabolism, thereby promoting healing. The use of hot towel on the wound site, not only simple, but effective.
