After wisdom tooth extraction, it is not recommended to use mouthwash in a short time, and it is generally advisable to use mouthwash after 24 hours. In addition to not being able to use mouthwash within 24 hours after wisdom tooth extraction, it is also necessary to avoid brushing teeth. Blind mouthwash at this time may stimulate the wound recovery. If the pain after wisdom tooth extraction is particularly severe and does not subside, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination in time to see if there is infection or other conditions.
