Yes... no contraindication for brushing. I would, however, advise that the patient not swish/gargle/rinse the socket for at least 48 hours. After 48 hrs post-op, gentle rinsing after meals can be performed.... key word to stress is gentle.
All precautions are aimed at keeping the clot in the socket.
