You can eat drying after half an hour of your surgery but nothing got atleast for next 23 hours.
Limit your food to warm and soft in consistency.
After 24 hours start with warm saline rinses thrice a day for good and faster healing.
Maintain hygiene
Follow your prescription

After extraction, keep the gauze/cotton for 45-60 minutes (as advised by your doctor).
Do not spit, rinse or have anything hot for next 24 hours.
Better to have soft/semi solid food at normal room temperature.(can be taken after 1 hour of surgery)

Hi,
Post a wisdom tooth removal, avoid hot and spicy food for 24 hours. Have a soft diet for 2 days. Avoid chewing food on the side of the extraction for 4 days. You may develop a swelling on the day after the extraction. The swelling will subside in 7 days.
