Question: I guess today is day number 3 after my wisdom teeth extractions!. Should I use the syringe now!?
So they gave me a syringe to use on the 3rd day, if I use it, wouldn't it flush out the blood clots!? I am so terrified of getting dry socket!. I brush my teeth with a little bit of toothpaste but I don't get close to the back molars on the top (it was two top wisdom teeth only)!. The pack says to flush out the bottom ones but I never got any bottom wisdom teeth!. Should I just leave it alone!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
The good news is that dry sockets in upper wisdom teeth sites are extremely rare!. So, unless you are having pain, or are having problems with food accumulating in the socket (unlikely with upper wisdom teeth) it is best to leave the areas alone!.

yes, use the syringe today,use saline solution and gently flush out the sockets, the main objective is to clear the area of food debris, it's healed enough that the blood clot or whatever is left can be flushed out!.
don't drink carbonated drinks or smoke , if you are a smoker
You can also gently gargle with listermint!.

I had mine taken out a couple years ago!. They didn't give me a syringe!. They just told me to brush my teeth carefully and rinse my mouth out with salt water at least every 4 hours without swishing the water around too hard!. If I were you I'd wait at least 5 more days because I remember my oral surgeon telling me that 8 days is when you're out of danger for dry socket!. HTHWww@Answer-Health@Com
I would give this a few more days; it won't hurt anything!. The chances of getting a dry socket on upper extractions is very minimal anyways!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
