How long can one begin brushing with toothpaste after having all 4 impacted wisdom teeth removed? Also, is mouthwash recommended and if so, what kind/brand?
I have just been brushing with water and rinsing/syringing with salt water as I didn't want to get toothpaste in the sockets.
Toothpaste / mouthwash after wisdom tooth extraction?
I just had a wisdom tooth removed about 2 weeks ago. It's okay to use toothpaste, just be very gentle in the area of the socket. I asked my oral surgeon about mouthwash %26amp; she said it actually inhibits healing, so wait to use mouthwash for a few weeks. She also said not to use products like Orajel or Anbusol because they inhibit healing as well.
Reply:keep rinsing your mouth out with salt water, for approx, 2 wk,s as your gums start to heal, mouth wash is OK ,but remember it has alcohol in it and it might burn or sting.
Reply:the next day you can brush your wound gently with or without toothpaste
extra information|:
the day you extrate the teeth...
you should rinse with warm salt water frequently
don't spit the saliva %26amp; blood out %26amp; no smoking, drink wine,do vigorous exercise for whole day
