Can I use peppermint oil after wisdom teeth removal?

Update:

I had all four wisdom teeth removed yesterday. I normally use peppermint oil to manage my anxiety and nausea, but I haven't been using it because I forgot to ask my dentist if I could use it after the surgery. I have no way of asking him right now and won't be able to ask until Monday. But does anyone know, would it be harmful for me to use peppermint oil with the recent removal of my wisdom teeth?

    You can drink ANYTHING after extractions. try to make sure it does not swish around the sockets, it can cause bleeding.

    There is NOTHING in peppermint oil to ease anxiety, it can help nausea.
