Why do we use salt as a mouthwash after a tooth extraction?

Best Answers

It's actually easy to make a personal salt water-based mouth rinse. Add ½ a teaspoon of salt to a cup of warm water, as recommended by Adirondack Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery. Rinse your mouth every two to three hours for the first few days after surgery, then use it three to four times a day thereafter. read more

Dr. Yost responded: 4-5 days. No rinsing is done for the first 24 hours after the extractions are completed. Then the day after extractions, start the warm salt water rinses. Put a teaspoon of salt in a juice glass of warm water. Swish for 1-2 minutes and then spit out gently. Do this 3-4 times a day for a few days. read more
