Wisdom teeth removal - eating question

Question

How long after wisdom teeth extraction can I not worry about food getting stuck in the holes? I had all four taken out last Wednesday.

Thanks!

Answer 1

im gon tell u that they ain gonna close for like a month. what yall gotta do is swish yall some salt water to clean em after yall get yalls eat on

Answer 2

I would just be very careful when eating. Take small bites and use your tongue to direct the food away from the holes.

Make sure you lightly rinse with warm salt water after every meal, before you go to bed, and when you wake up.

Answer 3

I would give it a full week to heal fully. Up until then I would rinse your mouth with warm salt water to get all the food particles out. I had my wisdom teeth pulled in october and this is what helped tremendously while i was still healing. Hope you start to get some relief soon!

Answer 4

You can eat normal food as soon as you can rinse out the food without excruciating pain.
