Follow Instructions: there are many variables which affect the answer. ITS BEST TO FOLLOW YOUR SURGEON'S INSTRUCTIONS. In general rinse only lightly to clear blood or debris from mouth. Excessive rinsing can wash away the clot and make the extraction site bleed. Eat soft food sparingly and rinse lightly after eating. Report pain, foul taste, pus, bleeding, swelling to your Surgeon. Hope this helps. Good Luck

EAT !: A soft/liquid diet should be no problem. Address any specific concerns with your surgeon.

1st day after: eat soft foods, such as cold soup, pudding, yogurt, or ice cream or other nutritious foods the 1st day after the extraction.
