Dietary considerations for subcutaneous emphysema after tooth extraction

Small, minimally localized emphysema in extracted teeth occurs from time to time, mainly in cases of incisional extractions and more complex operations. The incidence of maxillofacial multi-gap emphysema is rarely reported clinically, and is associated with the coexistence of emphysema and postoperative reactive swelling, and the clinical manifestations are not easy to distinguish. It mainly occurs after extraction of mandibular obstructed 3rd molar, mostly due to too deep buccal incision, too extensive mucoperiosteal stripping, too much alveolar bone removal, and patient’s coughing after wound closure. Prevention should avoid too deep incision, too large flap, too much bone removal, and the wound should be placed with iodoform gauze for drainage after suture closure. Once subcutaneous emphysema occurs, sutures should be removed, drainage strips should be relocated, and localized pressure bandage and infection control should be applied.

Generally, you need to bite on a cotton ball for 40 minutes after wisdom tooth extraction, you can eat after 2 hours (some recommend to eat after 4 hours), and you can brush your teeth after 24 hours.
