I just had my wisdom teeth out, how do I brush my teeth?????

I had a very pleasent expeience getting my wisdom teeth removed its the 5th day (had it done Fri morn and now its tues) and I've have had no pain only nausea due to the pain meds but how can I brush my teeth back there?? I am afraid to get too close to the site. My teeth are so gross in the back right now that my top teeth are sticking together to my bottom teeth. All my front teeth are kept clean easily but I HATE dirty teeth and the gritty feeling eewww... . Is it safe to brush ALL my teeth now? When will it be? When can I eat and brush like normal?? What else besides brushing can I do? Thank you so much!

Try brushing very slowly. Not even brushing but more like wiping the tooth with your brush. Try gargling with mouth wash.

I completely understand how you feel about NOT brushing. Just don't sacrafice the healing site for clean teeth.
