No risk, no worry: There is no such product and no need. Performing oral sex on your husband will not increase risk of infection in your tooth socket. Any risk of infection is from bacteria that reside naturally in the mouth and throat. They are present in hundreds of times higher quanity than on on the penis or skin anywhere on the body.

No!: Anything you introduce into a fresh surgical site dramatically increases the risk of inflammation/infection/damage. Give it a week to 10 days to heal.
