Tooth extraction: Depending on the surgery, sometimes immediately, ask your dentist to be sure. Soft foods are advisable on the opposite side, stay away from nuts, seeds, and hard cheeses, they will get into the socket and cause infections. Rinse with warm salt water several times a day starting 24hr after treatment, keep the area very clean for several weeks, follow directions of your dentist and don't smoke.
