After 25 days with all healing properly, you should be good to go.

AS LONG AS THE HEALING HAS CLOSED UP THE HOLE OR HOLES WHERE THE EXTRACTIONS WHERE DONE YOU CAN EAT MOST ANYTHING. IF A SMALL OPENING IS PRESENT THAN USE THE SYRINGE TO KEEP AREA CLEAN. GO BACK TO DOCTOR FOR A VISIT TO REPLACE YOUR TOOTH OR TEETH AND TO SEE HOW THE HEALING IS.
