About mouthwash
After tooth extraction, dentist suggest only salt water rinse after 24 hours 3/4 times a day .
But he doesn't prescribe any cholrohexidine mouth wash .
I asked him , he said salt better than mouthwash . mouthwash can irritate healing
Do i cholrohexidine mouthwash need or salt water enough to kill bacteria?
Hello dear
Please be calm
See salt water is comparatively better for both healing and antimicrobial action due to its plasmolytic activity
Chlorhexidine is also good but it is a strong irritant too
For further information you can consult me
Thanks

As your treating doctor has suggested you Warm saline rinses after 24 hrs of extraction.
So just follow that.
Your treating doctor is in a better position to judge.
Just Maintain oral hygiene.
Warm saline rinses thrice a day.
Take medication as prescribed by your doctor.
