Do not eat hard,hot and spicy food for 3-4 days after extraction,Instead eat soft/semi solid food

After a wisdom tooth extraction, it is generally recommended to stick to a soft food diet for the first few days to aid in the healing process and prevent any complications. The exact duration may vary depending on the individual and the specific instructions given by your dentist or oral surgeon. Typically, it is advisable to follow a soft food diet for at least 2 to 3 days, but it may be extended up to a week or more in some cases. During this time, you should avoid hard, crunchy, or chewy foods that can potentially irritate or dislodge the blood clot at the extraction site. Instead, focus on consuming foods that are easy to chew and swallow, such as: Soups (avoid hot soups initially) Smoothies and milkshakes Yogurt Pudding Applesauce Mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes Scrambled eggs or omelets Soft cooked pasta or noodles Cooked vegetables (ensure they are soft and easy to chew) Jello or gelatin It is also important to avoid using a straw, as the suction created can dislodge the blood clot and delay healing. Instead, drink liquids directly from a cup or glass.

If it's normal extraction, within 2-3 days, you can have normal food. But in case of surgical extraction,  this duration can extend upto 7- 10 days.

Hello 10days

One should eat soft food for 3 to 4 days after extraction. After that you can switch on to your routine diet but just make sure very spicy and hot food has to be avoided .

Hi. For 1 week,after that u can switch to normal food

Atleast for a week, one must have soft foods, while maintaining the oral hygiene. However, this time can vary depending upon the severity of the wound. After a week the patient can switch to the normal foods.

You should be taking only cold liquids for the first 12 hrs and soft food for 1-2 days afterwards. Then as the wound healing progresses, you can keep adding your fav foods , albeit semi-solids, as per your comfort level. Remember, your non-operated side can handle the foods you need to chew. For the first week, care is to be taken to not eat hard foods and hygiene should be maintained to avoid food being trapped in the stitches over the extraction socket. Warm saline rinses after meals are helpful. In about 7-10 days, you should be able to move to your usual diet. This is the scenario in majority of the cases. However healing is not just dependent upon an individual’s general health but recovery is also affected by other extraoral & intraoral factors alongside the patient response and diligence in following dentist’s instructions regarding medication, diet and hygiene and recall.
