Hi LadyPurrfect,
Please be careful using the irrigation syringe. It is meant to be used gently and carefully.... never forcefully or hard as that could slow down the healing process. Most of the time, a lot of food debris does not get caught in the surgical sites and the little that does get in there can be rinsed out with warm salt water.
If the surgical sites are healing and you are feeling better than you were, salt water rinses are probably adequate for keeping them clean.
