Wisdom Teeth!?
Ask your doctor. You should have another checkup soon. Ask then or call today.
Reply:I had my done and was eating solid foods that same day. Just dont eat chips and things like that, it hurts. It all depends on your body and the amout of pain you are in. I would recrommend taking your pain pills 30 minutes before eating, this takes some of the pain of eating away. But whenever you are ready...eat away!
Reply:ask your own doctor is the best answer one can get.
Reply:Considering that everyones situations are so different, you should just call the oral surgeon you went to and ask. They should have just told you anyway.
Reply:your dentist should have told you on the instruction sheet...


You are not supposed to eat solid foods till the day after, and only if you feel better as well and are not still bleeding or anything like that. You seriously need to feel better and you will know when you are :) but yes too soon can lead to dry sockets and that is not even funny hurts worse than the wisdom tooth itself.
Reply:They usually say just a couple of days. But you can just do it when you feel comfortable. Start out with mashed potato%26#039;s, mac n cheese, soup etc.
Reply:I was eating solids (carefully) within about a day after the operation. I had all 4 done at once. However, it greatly varies from person to person, and some people have to return and have it redone because of what you call %26quot;dry-sockets%26quot; meaning the skin is not healing correctly. I%26#039;m not trying to scare you, but just be careful eating and obvioulsy don%26#039;t drink from a straw. Before you know it you%26#039;ll be fine. After about 3-4 days you%26#039;ll notice that healing improves very fast everyday.





Also, oddly enough, I was almost all healed after about 10 days and then I noticed I was getting some pretty bad bruising around my jaw line. It went away after a day or so though, but weird how it came so late after the operation.





Hope this helps!
Reply:Call your dentist.





They are the one%26#039;s who worked on your mouth and know what needed to be done to extract them.





Sometimes, wisdom teeth are very impacted, so if removed, it may take an extra day or two before they would recommend solid foods.





If the wisdom teeth had already surfaced, and were easy to extract, you would probably be able to eat solid foods sooner.





So, give the dentist a call. They%26#039;ll know the answer for your particular situation.
Reply:You are to avoid certain foods that can go into the new opened area and infect it. They should have told you after surgery or before what foods to and not to eat. Eat foods that are soft and will not go into the area. Dont overdo it either.





I had mine removed and got dry socket. (The whole is there and they have to pack gauze in it for days until it then closes!! OUCH) I hated it! Every time I ate it felt as if the gauze was coming out and it hurt.





Your mouth isnt something to mess with. Infection, etc. Call the dr. if your not sure and just ask to make sure.





Everyone different so your going to get a lot of different responses and it may not necessarily pertain to you.
Reply:Ask your doctor, he or she can give you the best answer. Though when you can eat solid food, stay away from popcorn for awhile.... bad things happen if you don%26#039;t.

Reply:I think I ate the day after having my teeth taken out soft foods like pudding and ice cream. It took awhile before I ate normal, solid foods. Depends on how you feel and how well your healing but I would give your mouth at least 48 hrs.
