How to Take Care Of Baby Teeth Extractions
Pulling out teeth is a painful experience, but less painful when children lose their baby teeth.
Key takeaways:
- Tooth extraction is associated with bleeding. The dentist will use a small piece of gauze to prevent excessive bleeding.
- Your child should get some rest after tooth extraction to avoid excess bleeding.
- You should keep the mouth clean by swishing some saline water. It will help to prevent infection at the site of extraction.
