A member asked:
Been 2 weeks since wisdom extraction and everything was great in post op. can brushing hard still cause damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It COULD: ...so take it easy on the site with that brush, but at 1 weeks everything should be healing nicely. Brush around but not in the socket yet, gargle instead.
