When can I stop rinsing with salt water after tooth extraction?

I had a tooth extraction 2 days ago. I want to know when can I stop rinsing with salt water after tooth extraction

About a week. If it is a lower tooth extraction and the hole is large, I would do it longer to keep washing the food out of the extraction site.
