After a dental extraction, it's important not to rinse your mouth because rinsing can dislodge the blood clot that forms in the extraction site. This clot is crucial for the healing process and helps prevent complications like dry socket. Keeping the area undisturbed promotes optimal healing and reduces the risk of infection. It's generally advised to avoid rinsing for at least 24 hours post-extraction.

Also, they say to "drool" out and NOT spit for 1 week following the extraction, as this may rupture the blood clot. The same is true for ALL mouthwashes - do NOT use.
