What do you eat when you get teeth pulled?

Question

I just got four teeth pulled out. The worst part is the few days following. Two teeth are on one side and two teeth on the other. It makes it impossible to eat anything solid. I've been eating pudding, yogurt, and icecream for the past week. I'm starving! Are there any other alternatives besides liquid foods? Like soft solid foods or something. What can I do to make this as comortable as possible?

Answer 1

try some mac and cheese, mashpotatoes, soup with noodles thats what i had, when i had my wisdom teeth out.

Answer 2

American cheese slices. Just break off bite-size pieces, they pretty much SLIDE right down, no chewing required. And eggs; fried, boiled, scrambled...same thing, they slide down with very little chewing. And they're both a goo source of protein, which you'll need to keep up your strength, since you're NOT eating very much anyway. Tylenol/Advil for discomfort.
Give it time; you'll feel better in no time.

Answer 3

Try baby food, some of it isn't too bad. Also cottage cheese-small curds, and manderin oranges aren't too bad. Oatmeal iis easy and it fills you up. Lastly try condensed soup, it usually doesn't have much in it that you have to chew.

Hang in there, I've had wisdom teeth pulled and it is not fun.

Answer 4

I would suggest cool soft things like you have been doing. I ate alot of mashed potatoes, pudding, and yogurt for about a week.

Answer 5

I just eat normal stuff. I think you need to make an appointment with your dentist, you shouldnt have much discomfort after the first couple of days and should be back to normal foods, perhaps there is something wrong.

Answer 6

Any mushy food should be fine (oatmeal, bananas, etc).

You could also drink a Slimfast or Ensure. They'll have vitamins you're missing by not eating meats or veggies right now, which will help speed your healing.

Answer 7

You can eat lukewarm mashed potatoes...any mashed veggie, even baked potatoes. Some beans are soft enough too. Just think of anything that can be mashed up with your tongue and roof of your mouth in place of chewing. I had this same problem...just not so many teeth. OUCH!

Answer 8

Eat cereal as it will melt in your mouth and doesn't require a lot of chewing. Just let it sit in milk a little longer. This will fill you up. Try cornflakes, corn pops or even oats.

Answer 9

Avoid foods that are either very hot or very cold.

How about something like shepherds pie, fish pie, something like that. You can eat it with mashed veg.

Answer 10

Overcooked pasta with chunk-free sauce. Its what I had to do. Hope I helped!
