Proper care after oral surgery
at Oral Surgery and Implant Specialties of Kingwood
Your mouth should be gently rinsed (not
vigorously) with warm salt water the day after oral surgery. Add ½
teaspoon salt to one-cup warm water. Be sure to rinse after eating to
keep food particles out of the extraction site.Brush your teeth twice
daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Brushing your tongue is also
advised to eliminate bad breath and the unpleasant taste that often accompanies
oral surgery. Floss at least
once a day, too. Follow our
instructions carefully after dental surgery.
