What Can I Eat After Tooth Extraction? 7 Tips from Warner Lakes Dental

It is not always possible to save natural teeth. Tooth extraction is needed if there is no way left for the tooth to heal and it has been permanently damaged.

The procedure doesn’t take much time; however, it is important to know what to eat after tooth extraction.

If you don’t take proper oral care, it can result in complications and further problems.

Hence it is advisable to have a list of items you can have for the next few days after your removal until your gums heal back to normal.

Here’s a list of soft foods to eat after teeth removal to help guide you:

1. Soup
   Pureed vegetable soups are easy on your mouth and teeth because there are no large pieces of vegetable or meat that you would have to chew.
2. Applesauce
   Applesauce is very soft and the perfect temperature for people recovering from tooth surgery.
3. Yogurt
   Yogurt is another great healthy breakfast or snack to have if you get a tooth pulled. Grab plain yogurt that doesn’t have pieces of fruit or granola.
4. Eggs
   Eggs are a rich source of protein and good for breakfast or dinner when you need to be careful with your teeth and mouth after extraction.
5. Oatmeal
   To avoid irritating your gum, make sure that the oatmeal is lukewarm before you eat it.
6. Mashed Potatoes
   Get a lot of nutrients in only a few bites of mashed potatoes, which you may need if you’re struggling to eat after your dental surgery.
7. Cottage Cheese
   Cottage cheese is a source of protein that you can eat as a snack, or you can add it to enhance other meals.
