When can you brush your teeth after a tooth falls out?

After a tooth falls out, it's generally recommended to wait at least 24 hours before brushing the area to allow it to begin healing. During this time, you can gently rinse your mouth with warm salt water to keep the area clean. Once the initial healing starts, you can resume brushing, but be cautious around the extraction site to avoid irritation. Always follow the specific advice of your dentist for the best care.
