I just had my wisdom teeth out this morning, and I was wondering what can I eat?
Thanks!
Wisdom Teeth.?
Along with what RogueLeBeau has indicated, I was also told to stay away from carbonated beverages the day I had my wisdom teeth taken out.
Reply:You can eat anything around the extraction site except:
Hard foods such as carrots,
spicy foods that may irritate the site,
do not drink from a straw, it will cause the clot to become dislodged and may lead to infection,
and don%26#039;t brush the area vigorously, because of what is outlined for straw drinking.
Reply:I had macaroni %26amp; cheese with a lot of beer for my first meal after having a tooth extracted (lower 2nd molar.) Soft foods are recommended - such as scrambled eggs, pasta, and soup.
Alcohol is supposed to be avoided as it could dissolve the blood clot in the socket, but beer didn%26#039;t have any negative consequences for me.
Don%26#039;t spit, sneeze, cough, or rinse vigorously for 24 hours. You shouldn%26#039;t smoke or drink through a straw for 48 hours.
Vigorous mouth rinsing and brushing the extraction site are safe after 3 to 4 days.
The most important thing is to avoid dislodging or dissolving the blood clot in the socket, as that would cause a %26quot;dry socket%26quot; which can cause pain for several weeks to months.
The first 72 hours after extraction are generally the most critical time. After that, the socket has healed enough to not worry about it so much.
Do a Google search for %26quot;dry socket%26quot; and %26quot;tooth extraction%26quot;. All dental web sites give pretty much the same information, with slight variances as to time periods. Some sites tell you not to do something for 24 hours, others say 48 hours.
