Hi,

I have had four front teeth extracted this morning but I am confusing when to start a saltwater gargle. The paperwork I was given says the following day but my dentist told me today. I had top teeth removed a couple of years ago now and I can't remember what I done then - any advice would be fab, thank you !
 
Hi @MelJJ, our page on healing after extractions also says after 24 hours:


However, if your dentist reckons that you should start today, then I suppose they reckon it would be safe for you to do so? Can you try emailing them (if they gave you their email address)?
 
Hi Letsconnect,

Thank you for replying. Yes, I will do that thank you.
 
Great, let us know what they say! Hope it all went ok this morning? :XXLhug:
