How many days after wisdom tooth extraction can I brush my teeth?

After wisdom tooth extraction, you can carefully brush your teeth for nursing at least one day later. If the symptoms are severe and the operation is complicated, it is best to wait until the wound is completely stable before brushing your teeth. Generally, it is safer to wait for 48 hours to avoid bleeding, pain, and other uncomfortable symptoms. Due to the abundance of bacteria in the mouth, and the wound after wisdom tooth extraction is not easy to heal, special care should be taken. Within one day after wisdom tooth extraction, you should not rinse your mouth, let alone brush your teeth. After one day, you can rinse your mouth slightly and brush gently with a soft toothbrush. However, it is still best to wait for 48 hours before brushing your teeth for nursing. Because the healing speed of the wound varies depending on individual constitution, 48 hours is just an approximate time. It is best to understand the healing condition of your wound and wait until the wound is stable before brushing your teeth. If you brush your teeth before the wound heals, it is easy to cause damage to the wound, leading to the shedding of blood clots, bleeding, pain, and even more serious consequences. Therefore, after wisdom tooth extraction, you should take care carefully and strive for early recovery.
