My dentist told me not to use mouthwash and to do salt water rinses instead. I've diligently been following all his instructions, but today I JUST realized while looking at my toothpaste label that I've been using a toothpaste with mouthwash contained in it! I haven’t had too much pain but I'm so worried now because I heard the alcohol in mouthwash increases the chances of a dry socket.

Have I just put myself at a really big risk of a dry socket? This is the specific brand I've been using: https://ca.crest.com/en-ca/products/...ope-toothpaste
 
No you haven't done any harm, crack on with it if you like the taste.
