Continue with your soft foods until wound heals and your jaw is no longer stiff. You are fortunate you did not develop a dry socket, especially since you are rinsing and the clot fell out. Consult with your oral surgeon for further guidance.

You want to wait until the extraction site heals over. Any food that gets in hole can cause delayed healing and or an infection. Have area checked by your dentist before eating the above.
