What to eat?after it has been 12 days since I got my wisdom teeth pulled.?

Ok it has now been 12 days since I got my wisdom teeth pulled. And I am sick of eating pudding and soft foods. When can I eat rice, and normal food before I go crazy. I keep hearing that you have to wait a month or so to eat because of the holes. Is this true??

As long as it doesnt hurt - eat it
Reply:I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed at the same time. I was starting solid food by the second week. As long as your swelling is under control and your pain isnt too great, I would give solids a try. Stay away from crunchy foods like chips, tacos, and things like that. You could eat, fries, and a hamburger, just chew slowly and take it slow. I personally went to Lions Choice and ate a roast beef with some fries. Talk about yummy after living off of soup for 2 weeks.
Reply:If you can eat it without pain it is okay. I'd say you should be fine, just flush the solid food out of the sockets after eating.
Reply:If it's been 12 days you should be able to eat anything you want. I had my wisdom teeth cut out about 2 years ago and they didn't tell me anything not to eat. They didn't tell me to wait a certain number of days or anything. Mine were taken out about a week before Thanksgiving. I ate turkey and stuffing and mashed potatoes, etc. almost a week after having mine removed. The day he removed my stitches I got a donut. I can tell you that bread (rolls, donut, etc.) didn't go over very well until my gums healed from the incision. Did they tell you to wait before you eat certain foods? If not, then eat what you want. Don't go by what you have heard. Some people don't know what they are talking about.
Reply:The doctor always gives instructions of what to do and when to do it. You should have been able to eat long before now. Can't you tell by the way that you FEEL? If you haven't healed now; you never will.


Haven't you been back to the person who pulled your teeth for a follow up? That's strange.


If not. Call them and ask your questions.
Reply:Scrambled eggs and mashed potatoesIt's sounds gross but it is very good. that is what my doctold me to try after I had dental surgery performed.
