I am also doing salt water rinses after I eat today. The oral surgeon said I should begin irrigating the extraction hole tonight with my syringe, would it be beneficial to use salt water to do this too? Thank you for your help! |

toothtroublesgal,
I think you will find the smaller toothbrush much more effective. After the site heals, invest in spin head or a small head electric brush. I really think you will be amazed at how well they work! Regarding irrigating the socket... you can use warm mildly sated water in the syringe. The syringe is meant to be used very gently and not forcefully. It is suppose to be a gentle irrigation, similar to the same force you get when you rinse. If you irrigate too hard, it will hurt and you can reopen the wound. So steady and very gentle.
