1. How long after extractions did you brush the extraction area? I got my first extractions On June 5th and my dentist says I can go ahead and brush them normally.
2. How long after extractions did you eat solid foods? I got my final 3 extractions yesterday, a total of 6 and I am scared to eat solids because food keeps getting stuck in the extraction hole and the dentist said to just brush it out.. the one from the 5th.. not the ones from yesterday.
