Question 5

can i brush teeth vigorously after wisdom teeth removal?

Accepted Answer

With caution: You can brush normally after extractions except for the surgical sites. Brushing may traumatize the tissue, cause bleeding and delay healing. Be gentle in these areas.  You can rinse with salt water or Chlorhexidine oral rinse to clean and heal sites.  The first week can be a little touchy.

Question 6

could it be bad i rinsed my mouth after wisdom teeth removal?

Accepted Answer

No: You need to rinse after eating following the removal of teeth.  Of more importance is how vigorously you rinse.   My patients are advise to rinse lightly after eating or drinking fluids on the day of surgery to remove any residual food particles.  Vigorous rinsing on the day of surgery could cause the loss of the blood clot and should be avoided.

Question 7

how can i get rid of the swelling after wisdom teeth removal?

Accepted Answer

Mostly time: Icing the day of surgery, nsaids, sleeping in an elevated head position are all things that can help. Mostly you just need time. If there is significant swelling and it is not beginning to improve after about 5 days, see your surgeon.

Question 10

how long after wisdom teeth removal should i wait before i have sex?

Accepted Answer

When you can!: If you are talking about vaginal sex, then just as soon as you are not in any pain. If you are talking about your providing oral sex, then you will probably want to wait until you are entirely healed.
