what to eat after tooth extraction
Soft foods recommended for the first few days after tooth extraction include yogurt, puddings, cool soups, mashed potatoes and ice cream, notes St. Louis County Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. It is best to avoid hard and crunchy foods for at least a week.
However, in general, you should eat softer and non-crunchy foods for at least a few days. With wisdom teeth extraction this time period may well exceed five weeks. For teeth extracted more towards the front of the mouth there is less risk of a problem and less restrictions..
