This varies depending on individual circumstances. Generally it takes some time for your mouth to adjust to dentures and if you had teeth taken out on the same day you received your dentures, it is best to start with a soft diet as your gums are healing. Overtime you can work your way back to a normal diet as you become more comfortable with your dentures and in the case of having teeth removed, give yourself some time to heal at least a week, but this could be longer in individual cases and circumstances.

I see that your are taking Paracetamol, which is used to treat mild to moderate pain. If you do not have any known drug allergies or health issues that restrict you from taking Ibuprofen, you can take other the counter Ibuprofen/Motrin until you can get in to see your dentist. Minor discomfort after any surgical procedure is normal, as teeth are a part of your body and a root canal is a surgical procedure. However, I would advise you to call your dentist office to let them know that you are having jaw and neck pain and find out if they can see you sooner.
