“Should I brush my teeth after tooth extraction?”
I had a tooth removed. I wonder if I should brush my teeth after tooth extraction?

Not near the extractions site, but everywhere else, yes. You do not want to disrupt the clot/healing area.

Yes...stay away from the area of the extraction and do not disturb the blood clot that formed in the socket. Warm salt water rinse 2-3 x a day 2 days after the extraction was done.
Yes. But floss and brush all your other teeth and just avoid brushing around the extraction site for a few days.
Great question!
