I got four teeth removed today?

Question

How long does it usually take for the clots to form in the sockets? I got done around 1ish today, and ate chicken noodle soup at like 4:30. I'm worried that there's a chance I could've messed up the clot while I was chewing (I was trying to be very very careful), and then later would cause dry socket. Also.. i'm not sure if I need to clean it since I just ate? Help, thanks!

Answer 1

dont panic, clot takes less than one hour to start, but takes several hours to be strong enough, so dnt eat hard food, dont rinse ur mouth before 24 hours, 5-8 days are enough to start eating some normal stuff (not so hard)
