Hi Jae,
Your dentist is suppose to give you detailed post operative instructions. Sorry they did not do that :/
You should be brushing your teeth normally at this point. After you get the next two removed... brush carefully for about 1-2 weeks and then resume normal brushing.
Mouthwash that contains chemicals, alcohol, preservatives, dyes..... is never okay to use as it causes dehydration of the oral tissue and leads to tooth decay.

I mainly just had the potato filling after and left the rest. I was trying my best to chew with my front teeth, so I'm not to sure what happened. but I know for the week after Monday to stay away from perogies.
What I mean by "weird" is a tenderness feeling still but just on my right side... It feels like its along my last tooth on that side like the stitches or something.
Like I said though there was no bleeding or anything just knew whatever I did wasn't right. and I'm not in any pain But I will for sure stay away from anything I have to chew.
I have a couple more questions though, I've been doing my salt water rinses, I'm stay away from mouthwash. But when will it be okay for me to start using it again, along with a "normal" brushing considering I got both sets removed at different times. I'm wondering the same thing regarding food (like the perogies).
