Can Peroxyl mouth rinse be used after tooth extraction?
Patient: I ve recently had my wisdom teeth extracted on the bottom . The one side I believe is infected . I I have peroxyl mouth rinse . I have heard no peroxide and then some say use it . Wondering if it s ok to use . I have got clove oil, antibiotics ,salt water , and pain meds . It s been 4 days since and it is rediculious still ok the one side.. Is it safe to use ? Doctor: Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.If i am your treating doctor, i would strictly advise not to use hydrogen peroxide solution as a rinse. The hydrogen peroxide burns the tissues so do not use, it has to be used cautiously by the dentists not by the patients. I advise you to do saline rinse, take little warm water put salt in that and gargle your mouth. Complete the course of antibiotics prescribed by your dentist. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
