Can you eat after dry socket treatment?

After dry socket treatment, it's important for you to follow the instructions given by your dentist or oral surgeon. In most cases, they will recommend that you:

* Don't eat solid foods for at least 24 hours.

* Stick to soft, cold foods like ice cream, yogurt, or applesauce.

* Avoid hot, spicy, or acidic foods and beverages.

* Try to eat on the opposite side of the treated socket.

* Avoid using straws or smoking cigarettes, as these can create suction and dislodge the blood clot in your socket.

* Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated.

By following these instructions, you can help your dry socket heal properly and reduce the risk of complications.
