I forgot not to spit after wisdom tooth removal, now what do i do?

Not too late: The reason why you do not want to spit is so that you won't lose the clotting blood. If you forgot about it, but now that you remember, it is not too late to follow this instruction. After the sugery area is closed enough, it becomes safer to swish mouth and spit also.
