Wanted to know if i can brush my teeth after wisdom teeth surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Brush wisdom teeth: Gently brush the teeth next to the surgical sites. Try not to dislodge the clots. Salt water rinses are fine. Wait a day before rinsing and brushing your teeth. Your teeth next to the extraction sites will be a bit sore for a few days. If you have nay problems return to your oral surgeon for follow up care.
