If i have sutures from my wisdom teeth extraction, do i need an irrigation syringe?

Not at first: Irrigating wisdom teeth sites too early runs the risk of dislodging the clots in the holes, which will cause dry sockets. This is a painful delayed healing where the bone becomes exposed in the hole and takes a few weeks to fill in. Check with the surgeon after a week if food is becoming trapped in the sites. At that time, you may need an irrigation syringe.

Remove Debris: Irrigation, whether done by you rinsing vigorously, using an irrigating syring or a water-pik device, is done to remove food debris that may have been packed into the extraction site socket. Usually, extraction patients are told to rinse out or irrigate on awakening, after meals and before bedtime starting 24 hours after the extraction. Follow your dentist's advise or call them to clarify.

No necessarily: If you have problems with food getting trapped in the extraction site(s) and not being able to remove it by rinsing and brushing, an irrigation syringe can be provided by your dentist or surgeon.
