Can I brush my teeth before wisdom teeth removal?

It is generally safe to brush your teeth before wisdom teeth removal. However, it is important to follow some guidelines to ensure the best outcome:

  • Brush your teeth gently to avoid irritating the area around the wisdom teeth.
  • Avoid brushing the area directly over the wisdom teeth to prevent any accidental injury.
  • Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to minimize discomfort.
  • Do not use mouthwash or floss near the wisdom teeth to avoid aggravating the area.
  • Follow any specific instructions provided by your dentist or oral surgeon regarding oral hygiene before the procedure.
