good recipies when you have ur wisdome teeth out!?

Question

hi, my husband is getting his wisdom teeth out tomorrow. i have never had mine out, but i knwo you really cant eat. I was wondering if anyone knew any type of food to make for dinner or other meals. there is soups, but any soup i do has large chunks of something in it. im sure he cant chew cause hes getting all four out. so is there any soups that just soup, like a tomatoe soup. With nuthin large to et in it. i know ecipies for potatoe soup that i think may be ok. but does anyone have any sujjetions at all? thank you very mcuh!!!

Answer 1

Stuff with very few chunks in it because you DO NOT want to get food caught in the holes not fun to get out plus you can get dry socket from trying to suck the food out and that hurts... Campbells soup at hand is good I drank those after I had mine pulled, I felt like crap and did not feel like eating much anyhow for the first few days!! Try mashed potatoes nothing with rice!! Poor guy good luck!!

Answer 2

H eprobably won't want full meals. Like someone else said - after the surgery, you hardly feel like looking at food, let alone eating it.
Stick with soups - I ate a lot of "kiddie" soups by Campbell's as they have ingredients that are easy to go down the hatch w/o chewing. Chicken and Stars, Noodle Os, Homestyle chicken noodle, Tomato, etc.
Masked potatoes, jell-o, apple sauce, oatmeal, SMALL pieces of banana are all decent food that can be consumed.
Be sure that when he drinks, he does NOT use a straw. That only elongates the healing process and can cause a lot of damage.
Good luck!

Sure. People do it all the time. But there are some pros and cons to this. Pros: * Wisdom teeth may be hard to access with your toothbrush or floss. Over time, the accumulation of bacteria, sugars and acids may cause a cavity to form in the tooth. If it is not restored with a filling, the cavity may spread and destroy more tooth structure causing severe consequences to the tooth and surrounding supportive structures. * Due to the difficulty of keeping these teeth clean with your daily home care (brushing and flossing), bacteria and food debris remaining on the wisdom teeth may present a foul smell-causing bad breath. * A wisdom tooth that is still under the gums in a horizontal position (rather than a vertical position) may exert pressure to the surrounding teeth, causing crowding and crooked teeth. This also may occur if there is not enough space in the mouth for the wisdom tooth. This may warrant braces to repair the damage. * A wisdom tooth that is still under the gums may become irritated. The gum tissue that lays over the tooth may harbor food debris and bacteria that gets trapped under the gum, resulting in an infection in the gums. Cons: * Depending on the size shape and position of the tooth, removal can vary from a simple extraction to a more complex extraction. With a simple extraction, there is usually little swelling, bruising and/or bleeding. More complex extraction will require special treatment which may result in more bruising, swelling and bleeding. However, your dental professional will provide you with post treatment instructions to minimize these side effects. * Following an extraction, a condition called "dry socket" may occur. If the blood clot that formed in the extraction area becomes dislodged, it exposes the underlying bone. This condition is very painful, but resolves after a few days. It is preventable by following the post treatment instructions provided by your dental professional. * The longer you wait and the older you get, there is the potential for more problems to occur. This is because as you get older, the bone surrounding the tooth becomes more dense, making the tooth more difficult to remove. The healing process may also be slower.

Answer 4

He is going to be in a world of hurt when the novocaine wears off, especially if they are impacted.
Keep Advil on hand, it's an anti-inflammatory as well as pain killer, which will take swelling down a bit.

Give him lots of soft stuff: scrambled eggs, applesauce, grits, cream of wheat, mashed potatoes, beef or chicken broth, pureed soups, ensure, milkshakes, etc. You could get protein powders from the health food store for him as well.

When I had all 4 of mine out, I could only open my mouth about 2 and a half inches because I was so swollen. I was living on ice water and milkshakes for 2 days.
When I started eating again, my mom gave me my baby fork and spoon to use because I didn't have to open my mouth all the way to eat with them.

Make sure he follows EXACTLY what the dentist/oral surgeon tells him to do to keep his mouth clean. Warm salt water, as salty as he can stand it, stings like all hell but it will keep infection away. Make sure he rinses with it after every meal.

Answer 5

Sore! He'll be looking for a soft diet.

Soups are good but i wouldn't go for too many chunky bits.
My partner went through the same ordeal two weeks ago and i made plain vegetable soup, potatoes, carrots and leeks, added fresh herbs and put soup in the liquidiser for him. He thought it was good. I added extra potatoes to make it that bit ticker.

I also made mash using 1/2 potatoes and 1/2 carrots, milk, large knob of butter and served that to him with poached fish fillets so that he didn't have to chew much.

Finally and as he loves fruits ... I made him smoothies in the morning.

Answer 6

Make a cream of potato soup for him. It's really simple, filling and will give him energy.

For a small batch you only need two potatoes.

2 tablespoons of butter
2 tablespoons of flour
2 potatoes pureed
1 can of chicken broth
1/2 cup of heavy cream
A couple of rings from a raw onion for flavoring
Salt and pepper to taste

Melt butter in sauce pan, add flour until a light brown paste is formed. Stir in chicken broth and bring chicken broth to a boil, reduce to medium. Stir in heavy cream and potato puree. Drop in salt and pepper and onion rings. Simmer for ten minutes.

Jello, pudding cups, mashed potatoes, ice cream, tomato soups, and other cream of soups work as well.

Answer 7

A good meal that I had when I had my wisdoms out was a stew that had been cooked in a crock pot(one that slow cooks for hours). This was just beef cut into small piece in a gravy type sauce and was cooked till it just virtually fell apart making easy to digest without having to chew it too much.

Answer 8

Any cream-of-something soup will do...you can get him some supplement shakes also, applesauce,mashed potatoes and gravy, cream of wheat or cocoa wheats...the possibilities are endless

Answer 9

got a blender? anything he wants, put into the blender,add a little gravy, ( if it is savory,) or milk, ( if sweet,) or just plain water. Except pizza. Which looks gross. The crock pot stew sounds like a really good idea, too.

Answer 10

do you have a blender? if so, you can probably give him any soup or stew you ordinarily would, just run it through the blender first to chop up all the big pieces of stuff.
