hi, i had my first molar (upper-right side) extracted Friday morning. I have been using mouthwash (scope and cepacol) following the first 24hrs, diluted to start and now straight from the bottle. My GF told me to stop cause it could STILL dry out the clot!! I hate the taste of the saline water and have been using the mouthwash after every rinse. Should i stop? thanks
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum, I would like to inform you that using a mouth wash 24 hrs following extraction is good as it has antimicrobial action which enhances healing. I would also like to advise you not to overuse the mouth wash as it can cause Chat Doctor. Kindly follow the instructions given by your dentist and follow up after a week. I hope this answer was helpful. I wish you good healthcare care.
