Anything you put on your gums near that site is going to get into that site via the saliva. That is why I suggested to refrain from using any topical at this time. I would not brush over the wound at this time either.
Sounds like you are doing what you can to keep everything clean... that's good!
How is the site feeling today? Have you had to take a lot of motrin?
