It's ok to rinse your mouth out.

Just don't swish the water around your mouth hard, and not on the side they pulled the tooth.

Just drink some water, and then bend over the sink and let it drain out,

Don't spit it out.

What you are trying to do, is have the tooth hole, scab over.

if you swish water, etc, you will wash the dried blood in the tooth socket out.
