Why cant you rinse with salt water for the first 24 hours after a tooth extraction?
When you have a tooth extracted, the blood needs to clot for healing purposes. Rinsing with salt water can hinder the formation of a blood clot; this is why rinsing is not recommended in the first 24 hours after an extraction.
Should there be a white spot when site is healing after tooth extraction?
Yes. It is completely normal. I had a tooth removed a few days ago and this white spot has appeared. You'll probably notice the day after your extraction that you have a red blood clot where your tooth was. The following days that blood clot will turn to a white/gray spot. This is your mouth healing itself. Completely normal. Don't worry, and don't remove it! You could get a dry socket and you definitely don't want that!
How long after a molar tooth extraction can you swim?
You should wait at least 4 or 5 days after a molar tooth extraction before you go swimming. This activity can get your blood pumping fast and dislodge the clot giving you dry socket.
What happens if you rinsed and had warm soup after tooth extraction?
Tooth extraction leaves a gaping hole in the gum and jawbone structure. The extraction results in bleeding which needs to be prevented. The natural clotting system creates a blood clot in the socket where the tooth was removed, and thus stops the bleeding. Rinsing too soon can dislodge and remove the clot resulting in more bleeding, which can cause stomach upset, and if uncontrolled, loss of too much blood which could be dangerous. It also exposes the wound to possible infection. It is best to follow the instruction "not to rinse" to prevent complications which could be dangerous and expensive to correct. The "no rinse" rule should be included on a standard patient instruction sheet that you get following a tooth extraction. There will be a number of important things on there, like "do not use drinking straws" for a while.

Can blood clots be white in reference to wisdom tooth extraction socket?
Yes, clots can be white in color. After a tooth is extracted, the tooth socket fills with blood and a clot forms. Just like any wound heals with a "scab" if you will. A blood clot has several components (ingredients) in it. The red blood cells tend to wash away in the mouth, with post-extraction care like rinsing. What remains is the fibrin part of the clot, which appears "white" in the mouth.

usually tooth extraction does not lead to an infection. usually a tooth is extracted because of an infection. however, common infections that can occur from extractions are sinusitis if the extraction is on a tooth on the upper arch. or sub lingual space infection if on the lower posterior arch. a dry socket can develop if no clot forms.
What do you do after a tooth extraction and how long will it bleed for?
after a tooth extraction just be careful not to disturb the clot formation process....by sipping through a straw,smoking,rinsing.and spiting...the quicker the clot gets formed the faster the bleeding will stop....typically by applying pressure on the extraction site by biting on the gauze given by the doctor and holding it for 45mins to 1hour reduces the bleeding till gradually its gone...if bleeding gets worse check with your doctor
Why not spit after tooth extraction?
The important thing is to avoid anything that will dislodge the blood clot in the extraction site. Premature loss of the blood clot can result in a very painful condition called a "dry socket".Avoid any unnecessary vigorous sucking or spitting for at least the first week following an extraction.
