Rinse with Hydrogen Peroxide After Wisdom Teeth Removal
On the matter of rinsing with peroxide after wisdom tooth extraction
Wisdom tooth extraction is a common surgery in the mouth. Postoperative care is the key, related to wound healing and prevention of infection. Among them, rinsing with peroxide is quite popular.
Hydrogen peroxide, chemical name hydrogen peroxide, has strong oxidation. In the medical field, it is often used as a disinfectant. The principle is that when it comes into contact with tissues, it can release new oxygen, which can destroy the bacterial structure and achieve the effect of sterilization and disinfection.
However, after wisdom tooth extraction, whether it can be rinsed with peroxide needs to be carefully considered. In the early stage of surgery, the wound is still in the bleeding and coagulation stage. At this time, if you rashly rinse your mouth with peroxide, it will oxidize or cause the wound to bleed again, which may also affect the coagulation process and interfere with the normal healing of the wound.
Generally speaking, after the wound has initially stopped bleeding, about 12 to 24 hours after surgery, you can gently rinse your mouth with diluted peroxide as appropriate. Dilution is essential because high concentrations of peroxide can burn the oral mucosa. Generally, a concentration of 1% - 3% is appropriate, and the gargling action must be gentle to prevent the formation of blood clots from washing away, causing wound infection or causing dry socket.
If the wound heals smoothly, you can gradually reduce the frequency of rinsing with peroxide after a few days, and use light salt water isothermal and mouthwash instead. If there are abnormal conditions such as redness, swelling, increased pain, and pus overflow in the wound after surgery, you should seek medical attention immediately, rather than relying solely on peroxide rinsing.
In short, rinsing with peroxide after wisdom teeth extraction should be done according to the specific recovery stage of the wound, follow the doctor's advice, and take scientific care to help the wound heal as soon as possible and maintain oral health.
