For example, the wisdom tooth breaks through the gums and the gum tissue grows over it.

  • Do not suck anything like a straw or anything similar for a few days as it may increase the blood flow and remove the blood clot. Avoid smoking as well.  
  • From the second day onwards, you can start soft rinsing the mouth with warm saline water to reduce the swelling, but do not make it hard as again the clot may get removed.  
  • Do not touch the area of surgery with your tongue.
  • Do not to eat anything hot for at least 48 hours to ensure that the area starts healing.
After the second day, continue brushing the teeth and cleaning the tongue as normal to avoid any infection.
