Guest guest Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 After any tooth extraction one is not supposed to suck liquid thru a straw, gargle, or smoke because any sucking or squishing will dislodge the blood clot & cause big problems with both healing and possible infection. So I would not do oil pulling right away. Check with your dentist on when it will be safe to gargle.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 VCO is good in helping the body heal wound faster. It is our first aid for wound injuries in our factory, and the wounds never got to a second or final aid. We no longer use betadiene on wound. Last month my 18 month-old nephew lost a tooth when a bike fell unto him. We put enough vco into the wound, the bleeding stopped quickly. We continued putting every 1 to 2 hours until bedtime. The next day the wound seemed to have fully healed, there was no swelling, and he was no longer bothered by it when he ate. Tony > > Hi everybody > > I'm having my wisdom teeth extracted next week.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I would suggest VERY gentle swishing. But no hard sucking. > > > > Hi everybody > > > > I'm having my wisdom teeth extracted next week.
