    Rinse with warm salt water on the 2nd day after the extraction... DO NOT smoke, avoid spicy sharp crumbly food, avoid strenuous activity for 3 or 4 days, do not drink through a straw, and take all medication as prescribed (if any)

    Amir covered it all. Be sure to rinse gently though so not to remove any clot. Also, don't go poking anything in to the socket.

    If the clot fell out the day the tooth was removed I'd suggest you call your dentist and have him/her take a look.

    Try to do your chewing on the opposite side of your mouth if you can. This will help keep food particles out of the extraction site.
