Our little foster dog went for a dental yesterday and the vet extracted all of her remaining teeth due to severe dental disease and tooth re-absorption. She came home with clavamov and tramadol, and instructions to feed her soft food for at least 7 days.

Do any of you with experience with a dog that has had so many teeth extracted at once have any tips or hints on what I should do to take care of her gums until they heal? Do I need to try to rinse her mouth or anything?

Also, are there any long term changes in the way I would handle her? I assume she'll do better with canned food, but is there anything else I should know?
