Because half an hour after the extraction, the alveolar fossa will form a blood clot. If you brush your teeth and rinse your mouth, you will rinse away the blood clot, resulting in the alveolar bone being exposed to saliva, which can easily lead to dry socket syndrome.
The initial diet after tooth extraction should be of moderate temperature, preferably liquid or semi-liquid foods as too hard may cut the socket where the tooth was extracted, and oral hygiene should be maintained. If the wound is large, antibiotics such as amoxicillin can be taken on the advice of your doctor to prevent infection.
