post wisdom tooth extraction: keeping it clean  i'm going to take out my stitches in a few days' time. i have been keeping the site clean by following the instructions given by the dentist., so that means chewing on only the left side of my mouth. boy was it a pain to keep everything on one side. i had to chop my food into small chewable bits, blowing on the food to cool it down and taking in small mouthfuls of food at one time (imagine feeding a toddler). still, sometimes food would manage to slip past my guard and go over to the right side. that is when the strict regime comes in.  i was provided with a syringe to pump water at the site after every meal. this is to ensure that any little food particle would be washed away to prevent bacteria from growing.  my usual brand of mouth wash is listerine, however, that is too strong for the wound. thus, i'm using a milder brand of mouth wash to rinse my mouth after every meal. other than just cleansing the wound, i think it does a good job by ridding the overworked side of my mouth of remaining food particles.  lastly, as with usual habit, brush my teeth in the morning when i wake up and at night before i go to bed. and to take special care around the site by brushing gently. this would also help as it will not tug on the stitches. hopefully with all these efforts the dentist will have something good to say when she sees me this week!
