Is it ok? Tooth extraction?

After I had my tooth extracted and the tooth stopped bleeding..like four to five hours later. I gargled with hydrogen peroxide. I've been on antibiotics which have unfortunately given me a yeast infection that I cant do anything about because im not done with the medication..and Ive been gargling with mouth wash since. Was the hydrogen peroxide a good move? Should I have done that? when will this damn thing heal. I got it done Friday afternoon.

first of all ring up your dentist for some advice, your not suposed to gargle with anything untill 24hrs after an extraction and your only supposed to use salt walter washes as far as i know.
Reply:gargling is fine..it should start feeling better very soon..And you can go to the store and get monastic3 for your yeast infection..
Reply:I don't think gargling with hydrogen peroxide is a good idea at all after an extraction!! The more you swish around in there, the more likely you are to disturb the blood clot which needs to be there in order for the hole to heal. Call your dentist ASAP for advice on that one.





Whatever you do- continue to take the antibiotics until they are gone. That is very important.





For the yeast infection, you can buy something OTC. Or call your regular dr and explain what's going on- maybe he/she will give you a rx for diflucan. It's a pill you take once to cure the yeast infection. You can try eating lots of yogurt and/or taking acidopholis pills but if you already have a full blown yeast infection, it probably won't work. (for future reference- I stock up on yogurt as soon as I know I'm going to be on antibiotics. I have a bottle of acidopholis pills in the fridge too. But those only work as a preventative measure)





Good luck- I hope everything is back to normal soon.
