A member asked:
Is it safe to brush with baking soda after having wisdom teeth removed?
3 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Why?: Do you brush with it daily? It is quite abrasive, so don't use daily. Wait till after healing before resuming baking soda periodically.

YES: The baking soda will not harm the extraction socket. But common sense and being careful is always a good idea.

Yes: Just don't get too aggressive around the extraction sites.
