how long after wisdom teeth removal can i use Listerine mouthwash?

I had my wisdom teeth removed last Tuesday. Today is Wednesday, and I just had my stitches taken out. I am experiencing some redness on my left side, and my dentist prescribed antibiotics but did not provide any guidance regarding the use of mouthwash. How long after wisdom teeth removal can I safely use Listerine mouthwash?

its probably ok that you rinse with mouth wash if its been over a week, but you may find that the alcohol in the listening is slightly irritating since you just got your stitched out…i would suggest waiting until the redness goes away and the area calms down a little bit..you can rinse with warm salt water to speed up the healing process or if you have paridex mouthwash (a prescribed antibacterial mouthwash) then use that.

Mouthwash contains lots of alcohol and chemicals which can be irritating and damaging to healing wounds such as tooth extraction sites. Once you have your stitches out however, the wound has healed and you should be fine to gently swish mouthwash around. It may sting a little around the tiny wounds left where the sutures were, but this won’t do any harm.

If you are unsure, play it safe, and put a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate in a glass of water and use that as a mouth wash. Sodium bicarbonate (or baking soda) is a potent antacid, and will quickly neutralise any harmful acids that cause cavities, and kill bacteria that cause bad breath.

My daughter recently had four extracted under general anaesthetic and took a week off. The swelling and/or bruising appears after two days and you might want to delay your return until after they subside. She also found rinsing with saline and Corsodyl helpful and lots of Nurofen.

for me, i got all four of mine removed before and my dentist doesnt recommend using mouthwash. to clean the area, he gave me a special kind of syringe, and told me to use only water to clean it until my one week check up. i can brush my other teeth normally, just not to let the toothbrush touch the area. i think you should ask your dentist about this.
