Bryanna,

Also can I use Betadine gargle instead of chlorhexidine . If yes for how many days maximum ? I asked my dentist he said you may use either use chlorhexidine or betadine. Which one is good ? And for how many days can it be used ? He also asked to do warm salt water rinses. Can you tell me when should I do each of these. ? I mean betadine after meals and salt water rinse after breakfast or how ? Can you explain more.

Also the stitches were put by an oral surgeon. It will be removed by a dentist. Is this OK ? Because the surgeon will be out of town.

Amit.
