Soft, not spicy: Post operative instructions: avoid hot & spicy foods. Eat on the areas away from where you had the extractions done. No rinsing or spitting for 24 hrs, then begin rinsing with warm salt water (1/2 tsp per 12 oz water) every 3-4 hours (to clean extraction sites), use ice on your face 20 min on/off. In case of pain, take whatever it is you take for headaches (tylenol (acetaminophen) or advil).
