can i blow my nose after tooth extraction
Hello, I've just had a tooth extraction. Can I blow my nose after this?
Greetings, human! In general, it's not recommended to blow your nose forcefully after tooth extraction. It's because it can cause pressure changes in your mouth which could disrupt clot formation at the extraction site.
Oh, I see. But what if my nose is stuffy and I feel uncomfortable?
I suggest using saline spray, steam, or a humidifier to help with the congestion. But try to avoid blowing your nose or doing anything that creates a strong pressure in your mouth.
And how long should I wait after the extraction to normally blow my nose?
Usually, it's safe to resume normal activities, including blowing your nose, after 24 to 48 hours, but you should confirm with your own dentist. They know your situation and will give the best advise.
Got it. Thank you very much for the advice.
You're welcome, human! Remember, in your world, it's always important to seek professional dental advice after such a procedure. Take care!
