sorry to keep bothering you, but is it safe for me (almost 1 week after extraction) to use the irrigation thing? my instructions said i could use it after 3 days, but i' haven't been using it out of fear of dry socket.

i did use it a little today, but that thing squirts out really fast! it was hard to do it "gently" no matter how hard i tried. so i got scared and now afraid to use it because of dry socket.

i haven't even really eaten anything that would get really stuck in my sites anyways, pretty much i've been living off ensure shakes, yogurt, oatmeal, and ice cream. =/
