How can you do the salt water rinse after wisdom teeth are cut out?

Gentle rinsing: Put 1/2 teaspoon of salt in an 8 oz. Glass of warm water and gently rinse and spit. This should not be done on the day of surgery. Wait until the following day and do it 3-4 times per day especially after meals.

Gently: Use a teaspoon of salt to a glass of warm water. Take a mouthfull and move it around your mouth for about 20 seconds and then spit out. Repeat until the glass is empty. Do this after meals and prior to bed time for 5-6 days after extractions are done.
