In some precautions after wisdom teeth extraction, it is stipulated that brushing and gargling are not recommended on the day after tooth extraction, which may lead to bleeding or inflammation of tooth extraction trauma. However, with the development of current technology, it is possible to adopt minimally invasive tooth extraction. The trauma after tooth extraction is relatively small. In the case of suture treatment around the tooth extraction, it is also possible to brush teeth on the day after tooth extraction, but do not touch the wound position when brushing teeth. Generally, other teeth or contralateral teeth can be brushed. If you say slight gargle, it is OK if it does not affect the clot, but do not use force. Maintaining oral hygiene and retaining the clot after pulling out the teeth is a complementary relationship, which needs to be operated according to the specific situation.
