Answer 2

well after i had a oral surgery i went out for a large dinner. so i say try some of the softer suggestions that others have offered first. however i had no difficulty eating fried rice, egg rolls and a few burgers(and i had more then just 4 pulled at the time)

oh and very important if no one has told you yet.. dont smoke(ok kinda of a joke as your 12 and we all hope you havent taken to that nasty habbit) but also DON'T drink outa a straw either as this can cause dry socket(basically where the dried 'scab' is yanhked outa your jaw) its very very painful.

Answer 3

I have had my teeth pulled before too! The things that worked best for me were.. Applesauce, yougurt, smoothies, bananas, and soup for the first day or so then I started eating stuff like mac and cheese. Don't eat anything too hard or anything like popcorn or nuts that could get stuck in the holes where your teeth were. I know that sounds nasty but, you don't want to get those area's infected. So don't eat anything that is small enough that it could get caught in there. Good Luck! And don't be afraid to take Ibprofine if your mouth is sore.

Answer 4

i might advise to you to get all 4 tooth pulled on a similar time, it will be a faster restoration. I had 6 tooth pulled and braces a week after and speaking from adventure, that's plenty extra useful to get all of them completed at as quickly as. The soreness is to no longer undesirable reckoning on the way you tooth are place and the technique that desires to be completed. For me i had 4 cut back out of the gums and 2 pulled so therapeutic time become approximately one week and after 4 days of having them pulled i had braces positioned on. in case you seperate the technique, eg. pull 2 now 2 later this is going to take you slightly longer to heal and would scare you so as which you do no longer choose to return for the different 2 to be pulled. i become positioned to sleep for this so i did no longer experience a element yet once you're having it pulled i hear that's a differant tale. good success!

Answer 5

jello and pudding would be your best bet for 24 hrs. Basically soft stuff.. mashed ppotatoes, ya know stuff like that. I had four teeth pulled for braces when I was 16, and I ate normal stuff after only a few hours tho so it just depends.

Answer 6

soft foods like noodles and rice boiled or steamed veggies ,puddings and jello . You can pretty much eat anything you want as long as your careful. Meat and really crunchy or chewy foods may hurt your mouth though. Once you get your braces you will not be allowed to eat anything you can not put on a fork or spoon and eat. (hard candy, nacho chips popcorn ect...)

Answer 7

oh my! I also pulled 4 teeth out for braces,when I was 13. I remembered my dentist told me :

you should gargle your mouth with saltwater,so that it will stop the bleeding and it's real effective!
avoid eating hard food such as nuts or chips or crackers. eat more soft food such as congee or rice or soft-boiled eggs.

that's about it!

Answer 8

Didn't your dentist or orthodontist go over this with you? Do not eat hard food, like nuts, candy, etc. Do not eat sticky food, like taffy, gum. Do not drink carbonated pop as it can stain the teeth. Otehr than that, go for it.

Answer 9

Perhaps you shoulda asked the dentist before you left his office.

Answer 10

eat only soft foods and liquid diet,

Answer 11

dont eat curry, chips/crips, too much sugary foods
