Dry socket after a pulled tooth
Had two teeth pull how long do I need to worry about dry socket
Two teeth pull in the back on last Monday. I have been taking very good care of the extraction site. Eating soft food rinsing my mouth out after eating to make sure food does not stay in the holes. I clean with warm salt water. I do not have much pain left and the hole seem to be healing well. At least they seem smaller. I am just wondering how long do I need to continue eating soft food and doing the rinse. I would love to start eating normally again. I think I can but do not want to cause any problems by doing it too soon.

You are right on track keep it up. The norm is about a least a week before you go back to what you were doing before the extraction.
