Healing depends on the type of extraction and your overall oral health. Following aftercare instructions helps speed up recovery."},{"question":"What should I do if the extraction site bleeds?","answer":"Minor bleeding is normal. Bite firmly on gauze for 20\u201330 minutes to help control it. If bleeding continues or becomes heavy, contact the dentist for further advice."},{"question":"What can I eat after a tooth extraction?","answer":"Soft foods are recommended for the first 24\u201348 hours.
