Meal Ideas for When All Teeth Are Extracted

It can be painful to eat anything after a single tooth extraction, but it's almost unbearable and impossible to eat anything you usually would eat when you have undergone a full mouth extraction. Make sure to follow your dentist's orders per the after care instruction sheet provided before choosing anything to eat after your extractions.

Precautions Before Meals

• Before you even begin eating meals after your full mouth extraction, there are a few precautions you must take to ensure a safe healing of your wounds and to prevent further damage from happening to your gums. Any meals that include foods that are hard or crunchy to chew and require the aid of teeth are not suitable after your extraction. Such foods can cause great discomfort and have been known to slow the healing process.

Green Smoothies

• Green smoothies are an ideal choice for the healing process after a full mouth extraction, because they have loads of healthy nutrients and a soft, blended texture. Green smoothies are a fun and tasty treat during your healing because you can mix and match any fruits and vegetables you like. When choosing fruits and vegetables to add into your green smoothies, be sure to choose fruits and veggies that have a low acid content. Make sure to blend the smoothies to a runny, liquefied consistency.

Cream of Celery Soup

• Cream of celery soup is a restaurant delicacy that you too can enjoy at home while recovering from your extraction. Cream of celery is full of nutrients and is simple to make. Typically, Cream of celery recipes call for a very well blended, smooth, and creamy texture that is ideal for your healing after your full mouth extraction. When choosing a recipe to follow, avoid recipes that call for high contents of cooking wine owing to its high acid content. Also make sure the soup is not served too hot.

Mashed Potatoes

• Mashed potatoes are a family favorite and are an amazingly enjoyable break for all the liquids you will be taking in during the healing process. To make sure your mashed potatoes are doing no damage while you eat them, you must make sure the mashed potatoes are just that -- well mashed. To ensure your mashed potatoes are the right consistency, add a healthy amount of low-acid broth, preferably vegetable broth, to your mashed potatoes for a delicious, creamy finish.
