How to Sleep After Wisdom Teeth Removal
Positions, routines, and care that help you rest.
Sleep on your back with your head elevated for the first two nights. This reduces swelling and bleeding.
Night routine
- Replace gauze as directed
- Take prescribed pain meds on schedule
- Use a cold pack for 15 minutes before bed
Avoid smoking and straws. Rinse with salt water the next day if your dentist allows it.
