After plastic surgery, it is generally safe to brush your teeth and use mouthwash as usual, but it’s important to exercise caution to avoid putting pressure or strain on the surgical area. Gentle brushing and rinsing around the surgical site can help maintain oral hygiene, but be careful not to apply excessive force or irritate the incision area. Your surgeon will provide specific instructions on how to care for your oral hygiene during the recovery period to ensure optimal healing.
Can I brush my teeth and use mouthwash as usual after the surgery, or are there any precautions I should take?
