Guest guest Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Hi, I just had a tooth pulled out and would appreciate any advice to help with it's healing. I have been advised by my dentist to wash my mouth twice a day with salt water. Any other advice? Thanks Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition, and to keep it simple, I would take vitamin C (500mg, 3 times a day), zinc (25mg, twice a day), and vitamin E (400 iu, twice a day), as well as watch what I put in my mouth, i.e, cigarette smoke, raw fruits and veggies, unclean water, etc. That should speed up the healing time, and prevent an infection. Good luck, Daniel C. Luthi Nutrition Educator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
