Question: how often should i rinse my mouth with salt water after wisdom teeth?
Answer: Start rinsing your mouth with a warm salt-water rinse (1/2 tsp. salt with 1 cup water) every 2-3 hours. Continue this for several days, then rinse 3-4 times a day for the next 2 weeks. You may start normal tooth brushing the day after the surgery or after bleeding is controlled.
