I would recommend that you avoid rice for 72 hours after an extraction. You do not want to risk disturbing the blood clot which is the start of the healing process. Gently rinse the extraction site with warm salt water 3 to 5 times a day for a week following the extraction to keep the area clean and to expedite the healing.
Once the extraction site is mostly closed. They should take about 5-7 days.
You can eat soft rice as soon as your numbness wears off.
Same day as long as you follow the instruction.
Yes, as long as it is cooked. I would try to do most of your chewing on the side without extraction and try to keep the site as clean as possible. Rinse gently.
After 24 hours you can eat anything that you would like.Just no rinsing for the first 24 hours.
Anytime. Just chew on the opposite side and rinse with warm salt water rinses after 24 hours.
You can eat rice after the numbness wears off and the extraction socket has clotted. Starting the next day, rinse after you eat to keep it clean. Ask your dentist for post-op instructions - you should have been given them.
