Its supposed to kill the bacteria in your mouth!. Its pretty much the same concept as when you get your tongue pierced!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

the salt water probably salene sterilizes the open wound and stitches from getting ur teeth pulled and it's warm so that the pores will open up to prevent infection I would assume!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
