My doctor's directions were to wait 24 hours before brushing my teeth. I bought a baby toothbrush for the teeth directly next to the extraction site; this give better control so that the extraction site is not hit during the brushing process. Also, they say to "drool" out and NOT spit for 1 week following the extraction, as this may rupture the blood clot. The same is true for ALL mouthwashes - do NOT use. The 1 tsp salt in 1cup of luke warm water mixture is to be gently moved around the extraction site, by the tilting of the head - do NOT swish, as this may rupture the blood clot.
It's best to wait about a week after the extraction to brush your teeth. 24 hours after the extraction you can rinse with warm water and salt. Do not swish but very gently move your head to move the water in your mouth. Its best to "drool" it out. Do not spit or swish as this can remove the blood clots and cause dry socket which is very very painful.
