Assuming you’re referring to food, it is generally recommended that patients eat soft foods for the first few days after wisdom teeth removal. This gives the area time to heal and prevents further irritation.
After a few days, patients can slowly introduce other foods back into their diet. It is important to avoid hard, chewy, or crunchy foods as these can cause pain or discomfort. If you have any questions, be sure to ask your dentist or oral surgeon.
Some suggested foods to eat after wisdom teeth removal include:
- Mashed potatoes
- Soup
- Macaroni and cheese
- Yogurt
- Oatmeal
- Scrambled eggs
- Soft fruits and vegetables such as bananas, avocados, and steamed broccoli
- Pudding
- Ice cream
- Applesauce
- Jell-O
- Cottage cheese
- Fish
- Cooked pasta
- Rice
