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?

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?
