One needs to apply pressure on cotton packs placed in the cavity after tooth extraction for 30 minutes. This pressure will stop initial bleeding at the extraction wound. It is not recommended to change the cotton frequently, since it delays blood clotting. First 30 minutes are extremely important since bone and soft tissue healing is organized over healthy blood clot at the wound site. Mild pain may be felt after effects of anesthesia wear off. A painkiller can help this complaint. No hot bath should be taken. You should avoid hot weather and sun exposure. You should not smoke or drink alcohol. Food that seems unhygienic should not be eaten. Wounds of tooth extraction heal in 1 to 2 weeks. It is recommended that more attention is paid to the oral hygiene.

Cysts may originate from teeth at any location of intraoral cavity. It is noticed by the patient when it causes pain or swelling or it can enlarge to a giant size without being noticed. Although treatment methods vary depending on location and size of the cyst, they should be removed by Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Surgeons.
