When can I start using regular mouthwash after wisdom teeth extraction?

Question

It has been two weeks since Ihad my wisdom teeth removed. Can I start using regular mouthwash now?

Answer 1

You can use it at any time after an extraction, the only thing is, you should'nt swish real hard or spit until the site is healed, so that you don't get a dry socket, that is the only reason I can see why you would want to wait, other than that, my doctor says to brush and clean as normal, your body heals fast, you should'nt have to "baby" it more than a day or so, im my opinion!!!

Answer 2

I would think enough time has passed - but, if you're really concerned about this, which it appears you are - call your dentist's office.
