What not to do after having a tooth remove is just as important as the dos.   Make sure that you are taking care of your dental health by not doing these things after having a tooth pulled.

Avoid hot food and drink for at least twenty-four hours. You do not want to burn or irritate the extraction site.

Do not rinse your mouth for twenty-four hours after the tooth removal.

Keep your fingers and tongue away from the extraction area.

NO smoking for as long as possible afterward but at the very least twenty-four hours after having the extraction.  Smoking can interfere with the healing process and also dislodge the blood clot.

Avoid sucking though straws and stuff, no spitting and unless you have to avoid blowing your nose.   These actions can dislodge the blood clot.

No alcohol for twenty-four hours as it also can delay the healing process.
