Rinsing with salt water after wisdom tooth out?!
Question: Rinsing with salt water after wisdom tooth out!?
How hard should I be swishing!? I want to make sure I'm getting the area clean, but I'm afraid of getting a dry socket from swishing too hard so I just basically let the water sit in my mouth lol but i'm sure that didn't do much good!. I just got my tooth out yesterday so today is my first day of salt water!.!.!.also how often!? My oral surgeon's instruction sheet wasn't very informative!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have been rinsing at least three times a day!. I gently swish the salt water back and forth after letting it sit for a minute!. It really helps with getting any food particles etc!. out of the socket!. I rinse after I eat and before bed!. Generally ends up being around 5 times a day!. Good luck with your healing!

I didn't swish it!. I just moved my head back and forth with my mouth shut!. I always did it when i woke up and went to bed!. Also i was told after every mealWww@Answer-Health@Com
You shouldn't have to swish hard at all!. If you have a medicine dropper/syringe, that will help with reaching the area too!. I'd say that swishing twice a day would be sufficient!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
