I just had my widsom teeth removed how long should i wait before eating solid foods?

It is recommended to wait at least 24 hours before eating solid foods after having your wisdom teeth removed.

During this time, you should focus on eating soft, cool foods that are easy to swallow, such as:

- Ice cream

- Yogurt

- Pudding

- Applesauce

- Mashed potatoes

- Soups

- Pasta

Avoid eating hard, crunchy, or chewy foods, as these can irritate your gums and cause pain.

After the first 24 hours, you can gradually start to introduce more solid foods into your diet. However, it is important to listen to your body and stop eating if you experience any pain or discomfort.

Here are some additional tips for eating after wisdom teeth removal:

- Eat small, frequent meals throughout the day.

- Chew your food slowly and carefully.

- Avoid using straws, as these can create suction and dislodge the blood clots that have formed in your gums.

- Rinse your mouth with warm salt water after eating to help clean your teeth and gums.

If you have any concerns about your recovery after wisdom teeth removal, be sure to contact your dentist or oral surgeon.
