Lymphatic drainage after wisdom tooth removal – an effective way to speed up recovery

Surgical removal of a tooth, especially an impacted tooth, is a significant intervention for the tissues. In response to trauma, the body accumulates lymph – this is a defence mechanism, but it leads to:

• pronounced swelling,

• bruising,

• a feeling of pressure,

• restricted movement of the lower jaw,

• discomfort when eating and speaking.

The greater the inflammation, the slower the healing. That is why it is so important to support the tissues in the first few days after the procedure.

A gentle, effective therapy that supports healing

Lymphatic drainage is a gentle, precise manual technique aimed at stimulating lymph circulation and moving accumulated fluid to the lymph nodes. This allows the body to filter out swelling more quickly and restore tissue balance.

It is a completely natural, painless and extremely effective treatment after:

• removal of wisdom teeth,

• extraction of impacted teeth,

• implant procedures,

• orthodontic procedures,

• preparation for prosthetic treatment,

• other dental surgery procedures.

Artimedica patients in Wrocław most often report:

• Rapid reduction of swelling – oedema subsides several times faster.

• Reduction of pain and tension – improved fluid flow reduces pressure on the nerves and eliminates the feeling of "pulling".

• Accelerated tissue healing - better circulation means faster delivery of oxygen and nutrients.

• Less bruising - tissues cleanse themselves faster, which improves the appearance of the face.

• Comfort after implant, orthodontic and prosthetic procedures - excellent support for any treatment requiring soft tissue adaptation.

The best results are achieved when the treatment is performed:

• 24–48 hours after the removal of the wisdom tooth, when the bleeding has stopped,

• in a series of 2–4 treatments, depending on the severity of the swelling.
