After wisdom teeth removal, it is recommended to avoid brushing your teeth for the first 24 hours to allow the blood clot to form and aid healing. Starting the day after surgery, you can gently brush your teeth but avoid the extraction sites to prevent disturbing the healing wound. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and brush carefully around the area. After about three days, you can usually resume your normal brushing routine, but continue being gentle around the surgical sites until fully healed. Here is a more detailed timeline and tips:

• First 24 hours: Do not brush near the extraction site, and avoid rinsing or spitting forcefully.
• Day 2 (after 24 hours): Begin gently brushing all other teeth with a soft brush, avoiding direct contact with the wound.
• After 3 days: Resume a more normal brushing routine but still brush gently around the extraction area.
• Continue rinsing with warm salt water or an antiseptic solution as directed to keep the area clean.
• Use caution and avoid vigorous rinsing or toothpaste initially near the extraction site to prevent irritation.

This careful approach helps prevent complications like dry socket and promotes proper healing while maintaining oral hygiene.
