How to brush my teeth safely after wisdom tooth extraction ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't brush 24 h: only gently rinse your mouth with warm salt water 3-4 X per day. After the 24 hours, start brushing your teeth, being particularly gentle near the surgical site to avoid disrupting any stitches or blood clot.
