Good foods to eat after having wisdom teeth out?

Question

I'm only have 1 out for now due to financial issues...it's my bottom right one and it's very impacted. Anyway...I'm not sure what kinds of foods to buy for me to eat when I get home. I have yogurt, pudding, and applesauce so far. What else would be good and easy to eat? And how long til I would be able to eat regular foods again...since I'm only having 1 out?

Answer 1

Mashed potatoes, soup....soft foods are key.

Be sure to wait until your numbness wears off to eat anything that you have to chew.

Also, make sure that you do not drink through a straw....you want to give the area a chance to heal and the suction from the straw could dislodge the clot.

Good Luck!
