How can i clean area of extracted molar?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Oral hygiene: By maintains good oral hygiene ,through flossing and brushing the rest of your teeth,do not attempt to interrupt the blood clots that formed in place of the extracted tooth, as that might leads to dry socket and more problems.
