What to Eat after Wisdom Tooth Extraction
In the days following your tooth extraction, it is important to adopt a liquid/soft diet. Eating crunchy and hard food items could cause increased discomfort and slow down healing. Fortunately, these dietary restrictions are only temporary. Foods you can eat after a tooth extraction include:- Smoothies (be careful not to use a straw as the suction could harm extraction sites)
- Soft-boiled, steamed, and mashed vegetables like potatoes, peas, and cauliflower
- Broth-based and pureed soups
- Yogurt
- Tofu
- Scrambled, boiled, and over easy eggs
