Osmotic pressure draws fluids OUT, toward the salt solution. As long as you keep pulling any possible infection that way, you'll have less chance of problems. Osmotic pressure on an infectious bacteria also weakens the bacteria's ability to reproduce and spread the infection. Salt water is a low-tech, highly effective way to control infection in a tooth extraction.

The first few hours, or the night of surgery, a sensitive bristle toothbrush and toothpaste of your choice. However, do not rinse your mouth for 24 hours, smoke, or suck on a straw or other material.

(the place where the tooth used to be) It can be very painful and requires multiple trips back to the dental office to rectify.

What should you do after having a molar pulled?
I used sea salt soaks on my pulled tooth with great results. You want to get the non iodine sea salt. Mix it in some warm water till it tastes like tears. (pretty weak) Then use it to gently swish around the hole. You can also hold it on the hole. Do not swollow. You can also rinse with some water after if you like. Be sure that you don't use a straw to drink with for a few days. This is what caused mine to start to get infected, but the sea salt cleared it right up.
