how do i care for my mouth after an infected tooth was pulled and a bone graph put in it’s place?

Q: i just got an abscessed tooth removed and a bone graph placed in my jaw so dental implant can be put in eventually.i was in a daze at the office and i accidently forgot the paper on how to take care of my mouth for the next few days. am i allowed to eat and drink tonight? what are the things i need to know?

A: I had a tooth pulled and bone graft about 6 months ago and just the other day had the screw put in for a future implant. I was given antibiotics, and a prescription mouth wash, don’t use something strong like listerine, there is alcohol in it. If you did not get a prescription mouth wash, then gargle with warm salt water, gargle gently. I was told to not eat on that side and to eat soft stuff, also not to brush my teeth at that spot. Also I was told not to brush or gargle until the next day 24 hours after the procedure, I could eat sooner but only soft stuff. I would call the dentist now but if it is too late definitely tomorrow first thing in the morning.
