After wisdom tooth removal what can/ should you eat??

Soft foods like baby food, apple sauce,.... He shouldn't be eating anything that can leave small pieces in his mouth(this can cause dry socket which is no good.). I bought some of those Ensure drinks to at least keep up nutrients while recovering. The dentist should be able to tell you how long, but he should rinse with salt water after eating for at least the next week, maybe longer. As for not eating solid foods, that's usually a couple of days, but even at that, he may have some discomfort and not want to eat anything too hard either. I  didn't eat solid food for 5 days, but that's just me.

Take chocolate. But don't chew it, put it on ur tongue and let it melt. Thus it releases carbohydrates, that are fast assimilated by the organism ; ) Don't eat too much chocolate, especially if you're not going to move a lot! Have a great time!

Sugar if you drink it sweetened. However most tea is actually good for you. Dentists recommend biting on wet teabags after having teeth removed to sooth the socket & promote healing.

I just had my gall bladder removed 5 days ago, after my first gall bladder attack and discovery of inflammation and gall stones.  My surgeon put me on a low fat diet while in the hospital and recommended that I stay on the low fat diet for at least the first week after I am released from the hospital.  \n\nI specifically asked about beef, as I have been told by many that they can no longer eat beef after gall bladder removal.  I was told I should be able to eat beef, but not for the first week.  I was also told that I can enjoy my shrimp, but as butter is the main ingredient in shrimp scampi, dining at Red Lobster is out for a while.\n\nAs for those who have issues with eating at Subway after this surgery, they are probably not staying within the guidelines of a low fat diet, when making their sandwich choice.  There are 4 sandwiches that come to mind immediately that should be avoided because of the fat grams.  Stay away from the Meatball Marinara, the Cold Cut Combo, the Tuna and the Seafood Sensation.  Those 4 are higher in fat grams than other choices available.  There are now 8 sandwiches that have under six grams of fat, when you choose a six-inch portion, and avoid the cheese, mayonnaise, olives and olive oil.\n\nAlso, there are many different flavors of Baked Lays that have been offered at Subway for quite some time.  So a person can have a decent lunch or dinner there, and should not have any complications from eating, if they watch the fat grams.\n\nAll QSRs (Quick Service Restaurants) should have a nutritional guide available either online, or at the location to assist people with making their dining choices.\n\nI didn't eat too much from the burger places prior to my surgery and I don't plan on doing that now.\n\nThe most difficult thing for me to either cut back on, or give up, will be cheese.  However, a month ago, I listened to a guest host on Rush Limbaugh explain why the French are not as overweight as we are.  When you combine fruit and cheese, the two interact differently and fewer calories are stored as body fat.  So the French with their wine and cheese, are actually on to something healthy.  That fruit plate with cottage cheese isn't looking quite so bad any more, and it satisfies my cravings for cheese.\n\nI know my answer is lengthy, but I am trying to be informed, and help inform others who are traveling down the same road that I am.

I broke my tooth a while back on a mcdonalds french fry... nice huh, anyways i didnt do anything i did get some wax for your mouth that helps it from cutting your tongue or gums, but they do have temp fillings at like walmart that will get you by until you go to the dentist but you really should talk with them alot of times if you put the busted part in your own spit or in milk (dont rinse it) they can usually put it back on....... good luck!

Try to take vitamins that are liquid so once you place them on or under your tongue they will absorb immediatley.  You can find these vitamins in your natural health food store.  And my Mother had gastric Bypass and she went through many months of training and to get advice and educated on what her surgery will intake and what she will have to do post-surgery.  My Mom takes a childrens chewable and I know she gets a B-12 shot once a month.  I'm not sure what else she takes but I know those two for sure but what is really scarey is that YOUR DOCTOR doesn't know!  Maybe check around for a new doc too!  Good luck!

Quite honestly, at this point in time, any solid (especially crunchy) food that I could eat at this very moment would be my favorite food! I had a full mouth extraction last week & have been living on the equivalent of adult baby food. This, for a girl who practically lives on crunch!\n\nSeriously, however, my favorite food (the one thing I keep dreaming about this week, at least) must be homemade spaghetti with fresh baked garlic bread. This will probably be one of my first meals when my gums finally finish healing!\n\nCrunch-wise, I love those little crackers with cheese in  the middle!

I had all four of mine removed at once. One of them was impacted so they had to surgically remove it. The frst day you probably will not feel like eating anything. I slept the whole rest of the day. By day 2 you should be able to eat small amounts of things like mashed potatos, pudding, applesauce. By day 4 or so you can start chewing things. Just be really careful and make sure that you keep your mouth clean so that you dont get an infection.

- mashed potatoes - with real butter & sour cream\n- scrambled eggs with shredded cheddar cheese putin while cooking so it melts easily\n- yogurt - please have yogurt and east at least one a day - helps with what can be an after effect of the antibiotics in women too!\n- sweet potatoes\n- soups \n- applesauce\n- ice cream!\nstay awy from tomoato, citrus or other items with acid.\n\nfold some wash cloths, dunk then in water, squeeze out the excess (just do it's not drippy) put into ziploc baggies, stick in the freezer.  they work great for the 15 minutes on and then off routine for the swelling.\n\nhave some gingerale on hand in case you start feeling queezy.\n\nGood Luck!!\n\nPS - make sure you have some regular tea bags on hand.  if the bleeding after gets too much you can use it - soakit in water, let sit ont he gum for 20 minutes (no peeking or removal) then remove -cures the bleeding 99% of the time.

They will begin by sedating you.  You will be out during the procedure.  Then he will make an incision.  He will use several instruments to wiggle the tooth out.  If the tooth is difficult or under bone, he will have to use the drill.  Like I said, you will not know what is going on.  After your teeth come out, your both sides of your mouth will be stuffed with gauze, which you bite down.  Most likely, you will not have stiches.  Then you will go to a recovery room and wait for about 30 minutes.  Then you will be sent home with prescriptions and a blunt-tiped (not sharp) syringe.  You will use that after getting up, after eating, and before bed to irrigate your lower sockets.  You do this because food can get trapped in your sockets.  Also, do not drink from a straw or smoke for at least a week or you may get a dry socket.  If this happens, you will go back to the oral surgeons office to have it packed.  Dry sockets hurt very bad.  you will know if you get one.  It is nothing to be afraid of.  I promise...

Before I answer your question I just want to state that I am a Dental Technologist not a Dentist. Dental Technologists only make dental prosthesis with a prescription from a Dentist and we do not give out medical advice.  Thus, any comments I make are just personal thoughts and should not be taken as medical advice. So GO TO YOUR DENTIST!!!!!\n\nNow to answer your question, personally I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed at the same time and they were impacted. For me I was in bed for a couple of days because of the teeth being impacted. But since your teeth are not impacted you “should” be fine the same or next day. The difference is simple; when a tooth is impacted it means it is growing into the roots of the tooth next to it. So in the surgery the surgeon has to cut into your gums and drill the bone deep enough to remove the tooth. But when the tooth is not impacted and growing straight up, it can be pulled out. So there will be less damage to the bone. Sometimes the surgeon would have to do some minor grinding if there is a problem with the wisdom tooth’s roots (thus, you “should” be fine).\n\nSide note, the pain killers you get are great, you will be so happy not scared at the time of surgery so don’t worry about it now.\n\nHope that helped
