Hi I got my tooth extraction today after we went to the dentist I decided to eat some noodles after I ate the noodles I seen my tooth wasnt blood no more so I decided to wash my mouth and literally brush my teeth away from the extraction side. After I brush it I seen a doctor papers showing what to do and not to do i feel stupid coz I didnt read it first so I kinda panic now coz I wash my mouth today that it not supposed to my question is what is the side effect of washing my mouth after my tooth extraction? I still feel pain and numb around my tooth..
Thanks for using Health Care. Read your query. Vigorous gargling after extraction is usually advised to avoid to prevent the dislodgement of the clot formed. If there is dislodgement of the clot it can lead to Chat Doctor. Relax, if you have already done it. Continue with the proper medication prescribed by your dentist. Pain and numbness will gradually reduce. Salt water gargling is to be done though not vigorously. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards.
