Eating after wisdom tooth extraction?
Don't brush too hard, don't brush the first day. Keep the extraction site(s) clean!





Soft warm/cold/room temp foods. Make sure you take the prescribed medications (it'll do you good). Rest your jaw, don't talk a lot, make sure you use the dry sockets.





Food Recommendations (all warm or room temperature):


Tea


Apple Sauce


Yogurt


Porridge


Soup


Smoothies


Ice cream


Pudding





NO STRAWS, SMOKES, OR ALCOHOL

Jello, scrambled eggs, pudding
Reply:soup is good, mashed potatoes, soft veg, u can eat anything really, just dont chew on the side where u have had the surgery
Reply:soup.
Reply:Well just speaking for myself, when I had mine out I took some solpadeine for the pain and then I distinctly remember eating chocolate biscuits!
Reply:Don't make the mistake I made and try to eat normal foods. If you get food particles stuck back there you will be in so much pain you'll consider cutting off your left foot to make your mouth quit hurting. Do ONLY liquids such as smoothies, juice, broth, ice cream, etc.
Reply:It's best not to eat for a while. If you do eat, have something mild. soup, eggs, bread etc.. No sugar!
Reply:soup, mash tatoes, jelly, ice cream .
Reply:stick to stuff like smoothies, ice cream, and yougurt. anything soft. Stay away from very hard stuff like bagels.. ect. for atleast a week.
Reply:You need to stick to soft foods today, such as mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, jello, scrambled eggs, chicken noodle soup, pudding, things like that are perfect. You want to stay away from anything hard or crunchy for about 2 weeks.
Reply:I wqould go for very soft things right now. However you need to make sure you put something on your stomach before you take your pain medicine or you will likely throw up. Some good things include: pudding, oatmeal, milkshakes, milk, and if you can chew it; scrambled eggs.
Reply:I ate whatever i wanted ,but not on that side.
Reply:When I had mine removed I couldn't eat anything solid for 2 weeks. I lived off of the vanilla drinks made by Ensure.
Reply:I just drank smoothies foor the first few days when i got mine out. Dont try anything that isnt soft... youll regret it trust me!!! I also ate pancakes with alot of syrup about 2 days after i got My wisdom teeth out
Reply:Rule of thumb: if it hurts to eat, don't eat it. If it doesn't hurt, eat it. I personally couldn't eat much for a couple weeks due to a minor infection (I had all 4 teeth extracted at once - that sucked).





Still, the safest food for maybe 24 hours (or until you feel better) is soup. Lipton chicken soup is good, but touch it with your finger to make sure it's not hot if you're still frozen. My friend had pizza after his teeth were extracted (yeah, I was pretty mad at him, still eating soup a week later :)
Reply:I just had mine out a couple weeks ago and i was sure i wouldn't be able to eat anything-but i was wrong. i Actually ate pretty good..I bought lots of soups; spagetti o's, chicken noodle, tomatoe...i had pudding, yogurt, soft icecream, drinkable yogurt was easy and great, i bought those dannon immunity drinks also, o yeh, and anything too hard to eat i put in a blender!...anything that u can just put in ur mouth and let sort of slide down. At first u will have everything everywhere, but as u become un-numb u can feel things more and get better at it. I really was afraid of losing weight during the weekend i had them out because i was told i would, but i didn't! So pretty much anything that u dont really have to chew-have fun and enjoy the vicadin! :P
Reply:Liquids and soupy foods. When my cousin got hers taken out she didn't really eat much for the first day, just some soup/broth but the next day she was able to eat enchiladas and refried beans. If thats not your thing try mashed potatoes, meatloaf, applesauce, yogurt, basically anything that doesn't require a lot of chewing.





Try to stay away from the crunchy foods.
Reply:Just to add to the other answers, yes, soup is a safe food providing that it is not too hot. You do not want to eat or drink anything hot because the heat will expand the blood vessels causing you to bleed more.... which, in turn, could lead to dry socket. You don't want to do anything to disturb the clot such as sucking, smoking, rinsing too hard, etc. Even physical activity gets the blood racing and don't take aspirin for any pain as it is a blood thinner. So is alcohol. Happy healing! =)
Reply:whatever you can, but i can't see how you'd be able to eat anything besides jello or pudding/yogurt. but be sure to eat something because if yo udon't the painkillers will make you sick.
Reply:My dentist told me to bit on a used teabag if it starts to bleed as the tannin in the tea stops it . If it is sore you can rub sensodine gel toothpaste on it and you just leave a spread of it on your gum to kill the pain as for eating nothing hard.
