Eating after having a tooth pulled.
So I just got two of my front teeth pulled. I will be getting a bridge put in but I need to heal first. Anyway I just had them pulled like two hours ago and I am getting really hungry. How long should I wait to eat. I am not in really to much pain so I think I could get something soft just not sure how much longer I should wait.

Your dentist would have normally advise you on the time frame of when you can eat. However if you are not in pain and your mouth is not still numb then I would think it should be okay to eat something soft.
Just make sure you wash out your mouth as directed by your dentist.

Call the dental office and see what they tell you. Two hours see a little early to me. I would wait about four hours. That was how long my dentist had me wait. I had all four wisdom teeth pulled.
Waiting was not an issue for me because I was in pain and eating was the last thing I wanted to do at the time.

If you are not in any pain I do not see why you can not eat something if you are hungry. I hate food right after having an extraction done. I just washed out my mouth with warm salt water afterwords.
