Eating food after having wisdom teeth pulled.
Question: I had all my wisdom teeth pulled along with two others three days ago. I am in a little pain but mostly I just have a lot of swelling and pressure at the extraction sites. When can I start eating real foods like hamburgers, pizza, subs sandwiches and the like… I am really hungry and tired of soup.
Answer: It is really up to you. I suggest talking to your dentist and seeing what they have to say. But if eating slitly harder foods does not hurt your mouth then you should be okay. Just take small bites and chew carefully so you do not bite yourself do to the swelling.
