A member asked:
After a single tooth extraction, when can i brush and floss my teeth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
After Extraction: Generally speaking you should continue to brush and floss later the same day after bleeding is under control. Just be extra careful in that area. Having said that, follow the directions of your own dentist.
