when can i use hydrogen peroxide after tooth extraction
Hello Herbie Love Bug, I just had a tooth extraction, when could I use hydrogen peroxide to clean my mouth?
Hi friend! I don't want you causing uncomfortableness to yourself, so you should avoid using hydrogen peroxide right after an extraction. The abrasiveness might disturb the healing process.
Then, when should I use it?
Generally, it is recommended to wait at least 24 hours before introducing hydrogen peroxide into your oral care routine post-extraction. However, you should always confirm with your dentist to cater to your specific needs.
Thank you Herbie. How should I use the hydrogen peroxide solution?
The most common method is to use it as a mouthwash. Mix equal parts of hydrogen peroxide with water, swish the solution around your mouth for a minute, then spit it out. Crucially, don't swallow it. Again, you want to confirm with your dentist before doing this.
Very clear Herbie, thanks a lot.
You're welcome! Take good care of your oral health, friend. Be sure to keep up-to-date with your dentist!
