Question:
How, after removing the stitches on a wisdom teeth extraction?
how can i prevent food particles from getting in the holes after removing the stitches after a wisdom teeth extraction? i heard that food particles trapped in there can cause infection even if the gums are not bleeding, it can bleed again? then how??
Answers:
I had mines taken out almost 3 weeks ago. To keep it clean, I rinse with a large glass of warm salt water after every meal and morning and night. I rinse gently and it takes about 5 mins total. A syringe helps too. I just chew like normal and food still gets stuck but I just rinse afterwards. When my stitches were taken out or fell out, my doc advised me to keep doing the same (rinsing) until they close up in about 2 months. Good luck!
