I feel silly for asking this, but why is brackish water used and recommended for medicinal of the mouth, such as an abscessed tooth that was pulled?

Answer:
Well saltwater is a angelic disinfectant used for healing process. Its not simply used for mouth but any parts of the body. It kills germs and prevent infection. That's why the health-giving process is faster. Especially for the mouth which is always raining and where we go and get bits of food stuck between teeth.
It is because the salt surrounded by the water help kill germs contained by your mouth. That's why when you put salt on cuts it hurts because the brackish is killing the germs.
