Wisdom teeth: As you probably were told, you should be very careful around the extraction sites. A little bleeding after rinsing should not be a problem. After 9 days, unless you experience more bleeding or pain you should be alright. If it does start hurting you should contact your dentist.

As long: As long as all the food debris was removed you should be OK. If you are concerned call your Surgeon for a follow-up examination.
