Had 5 wisdom teeth removed last thursday, the 25th of March.

My biggest question is: What can I do to mitigate the risk of infection to the wounds while they heal over the next several months?

Also, how worried should I be about dry socket; what is the likelihood it develops given that I do not smoke and rarely drink?

When can I begin using mouthwash again? I've been brushing after every meal since Sunday but doc said to wait until I use mouthwash again but didn't say how long to wait.

Are there foods/drinks that are more likely to cause complications to the healing process, like soda, or chips, or some such?

Thank you all, in advance.
