Follow dentist's: Written instructions after an extraction. Avoid strenuous activity to include heavy lifting. Just plan to take it easy. Avoid activities that create suction (smoking or sucking from a straw). Don't swish vigorously. Avoid alcohol ; hot beverages. A soft or liquid diet would be good 48 hours. Your dentist/ oral surgeon likely provided you w gauze to apply pressure with if you start bleeding.

Very easy: Wait at least an hour, tell bleeding stops, you tell from the dry gauze you can not have anything hot or spicy in nature, soft diet like puddings and white bread and alike ..
