Recently had all 4 wisdom teeth out on monday alongside a bone graft on the top two teeth. have seen some places you should restrict diet to soft foods for 3-4 months after a bone graft. is this true for wisdom teeth grafts as well? it seems drastic?

Once the gingiva has closed over the extraction site you should be fine.

EAT SOFT FOODS FOR TWO WEEKS AND KEEP AREA CLEAN BY RINSING WITH HYDROGEN PEROXIDE AND WATER. DON'T PUT ANY PRESSURE ON GRAFT AND BE YOU WILL FINE.

Had all 4 wisdom teeth out + bone graft on May 24th (so about 2 weeks). Food keeps getting stuck in the bottom two holes and rinsing can't get it out. Dentists office told me NOT to use a water syringe. Is it bad to let food sit there?
Is it true that a bone graft accelerates healing after a wisdom tooth extraction because food can't get into the socket and there is less risk of dry socket? If so, why isn't grafting more common for easier recoveries?
