the tissue is healing, white dots are okay.. if they told you it was okay to use a mouth rinse, use crest pro health, its like listerine with out the burning alcohol that will hurt your open raw tissue......Health Question & Answer

Don't use Listerine or anything w/ alcohol in it, alcohol will dry out ur mouth & promote cavities.. Garggle warm salt water it acts like saliva & will help the healing process..Health Question & Answer
