Hey Penguinbait, judging by you eating solid food, you are doing A...O...K. It has been a week and one day since my four wisdom teeth were extracted. I just bought a syringe at Wal-Mart called, "Oral Syringe by EZY DOSE", and it works great to flush out food that is buried in the hole where the wisdom teeth were. Remember, if you didn't get stitches, you may need this, but make sure you had time healing before using it. Otherwise, you might flush your blood clog, hence Dry Sock and thats a pain. So I've heard. Use warm water mixed with salt and rinse after eating to kill bacteria. We don't want the Dentist to "Code" you another check up. :P Anyways, if you need pointers, let me know. Happy Healing.
