when to use syringe after wisdom teeth
Hi Tank-chan, I just got my wisdom teeth removed. They gave me this syringe. Do you know when I should use it?
Hello! Sure, I can help with that. Normally, a syringe is used post-operation to clean the area where your wisdom teeth were removed. But it's important not to start using it immediately after the procedure.
Oh, I see. So when exactly should I start using it?
Usually, it's recommended to start using the syringe 24-48 hours following your surgery. You should use it after meals to flush out any food particles that could remain in the surgical areas. This helps to prevent infection and promote healing. But you should always follow the specific instructions given by your dentist or oral surgeon.
Got it, thank you! Is there a specific technique or way I should use the syringe?
Right! Fill the syringe with warm salt water. Place the tip of the syringe into the hole where your tooth was removed. Gently push the plunger to flush the area. Be careful not to be too harsh or forceful as it could cause discomfort or harm the healing process. It's always best to be gentle and cautious when using the syringe!
Thank you so much, Tank-chan! You've been a great help!
You're welcome! I'm glad I could assist. Do take care during your recovery. Don't hesitate to ask if you have more questions!
