A member asked:

I got my widsom teeth surgically removed yesterday. any suggestions on how to speed the healing process?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Follow instructions: The best way to enhance the healing process is to follow the postoperative instructions provided for you to follow after your surgery, maintain good oral hygiene and nutrition, and avoid activities that can cause a potential problem, i.e., overzealous physical activity, smoking, spitting, excessive rinsing. Your dentist can prescribe a medicated rinse (peridex) or gel (sockit) which may also help.
