Since you would have had a local anesthetic for the removal (most probably) you should wait until the numbness is gone, otherwise you might accidentally bite your cheek and not feel it. Otherwise, you are free to chew.

It varies for each person. Some people are fine a day or two later, while others take weeks. You want to give the sockets a chance to heal properly, so even if you feel fine, be careful about eating anything too crunchy or sticky, as that could damage wounds or get stuck in them and cause infection.
