Anyone ever had a tooth extracted?

[tkband3]

I had a molar extracted on Tuesday. It's been fine, a bit bruised but no real pain and I've been gargling regularly with salty water. The dentist told me to avoid rice 'for a few days' as it might get stuck in the hole (sorry if TMI)...I really want a curry for dinner - is 4 days long enough or should I avoid rice for longer?

Dentist here. Just eat the other side. If you get rice in the hole just leave it there. FGS don't go poking at it. Your body will deal with it fine. Enjoy the curry!

Thank you for your help. The curry was great...the diet starts today .

will the rice just fall out? I had 3 teeth out last week and have a temp partial denture on top and dentist said not to eat rice or things with pips. Its been 6 days. I'm starving! Least ric i could swallow whole s i still cant chew!

Blender!!!!!!!!! and glass of wine to wash down
