Molar removed: Just keep it clean and free of food particles by irrigating the socket after eating. It will heal but is take a few weeks. Maybe even a month in some cases. Good luck. Feel better.

Dental Extraction: It sounds like you're healing well. It takes up to six months for the area to heal from the inside. Practicing good oral hygiene is a must. Warm salt warm rinses help keep the area clean and free of debris. If you start to experience pain or swelling, call your dentist or oral surgeon.
