Wait for rinse: You shouldn't rinse until at least 1.5-2 days after the extractions, but then i would rec about 3-4 times per day. Best of luck and keep them clean to avoid further infection or dry socket. If any other questions call your provider for details.

None: You shouldn't rinse if you just had your teeth extracted. After a few days, however, after the blleding is controlled, you can gently rinse a few times per day if you need to. Consult with your dentist for further instructions.

None: Rinsing may dislodge the blood clot. It will not help.

Depends: The first 1 - 2 days --- not at all ! you might wash out the blood clot and delay healing and get a dry socket. After that gently rinse after meals up to a total of 3 - 5 times a day. You want to help the tissue heal and keep the blood clots. It can be like picking a scab off your skin before the cut heals --- you end up taking longer to heal.
