Salt water rinse in antibacterial wash- peridex hurt my tooth extraction spot after i use them. why does it make it sting?and what can i do to stop it
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sting: Both salt water and Peridex can cause tissues to sting, especially if there is an area not healing well. Best thing to do is return to theDentist or Oral Surgeon that treated you for post-surgical reevaluation.
