Wait 7-10 days: Ask your oral surgeon before you blast the clot out of the socket. Once tissue heals water pik can help remove food debits as socket heals.

Not until: Your dentist or surgeon tells you that it's ok. The time necessary to wait varies quite a bit and there is no specific generally agreed upon amount of time that anyone can tell you to wait. This requires individual monitoring to observe sufficient healing and filling in of the surgical site.
