Dental Opinions, Eating after a wisdom tooth extraction.
Question: I just had my wisdom teeth extracted and I am in a lot of pain. Mostly when I try to eat. Yet I want real food. I am tired of eating soft noddle soup. How much longer should I have to deal with this pain? Seems to me it taking too long since it has already been two days since the extraction.
Answer: As for what food you can eat. Really that is up to you and what you feel you can eat without causing you a great deal of pain. That is why most people will get soft food for at least the first week. Two day is not very long at all and you should give yourself some time to heal.
However with that said. These are also good questions you may want to address with the dentist that did your extractions. So call your dentist they should be able to answer your questions over the phone.
