Question

Answer 1

no do a 4oz at a time and dont swish. just move your head from side to side and spit. I just had 2 teeth pulled 2 day so i know what you have to do. say no to smoking and drinking from a straw, dry socket is very painful. or so im told.

Answer 2

Yes - warm water and a little salt.  But don't wash out where the tooth was pulled too much - it's in there building new bone.  That means you have to keep the big blood clot in tact.  

Also no smoking.  When you have a tooth pulled, that's when you really can tell how poisonous cigarettes are!!  

Answer 3

Use the 8 oz of water. What you use is no more than what you would to gargle with until the whole 8 oz is gone. Put a little salt in there too. Half a teaspoon should do.
