WHAT CAN WE EAT AFTER TOOTH EXTRACTION

 For at least 24 hours after tooth extraction, we should eat soft food and liquids. Because after
tooth extraction it would pain by eating hard food such as vegetables and also we have to avoid

smoking. You should eat that food that is easy to chew for few days. After the first day, you
should try mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, scrambled eggs, pancakes, and soup.
Eat these foods lukewarm but not hot.

FOODS TO AVOID AFTER THE FIRST DAY OF TOOTH EXTRACTION

Many foods can irritate the wounds in your mouth as they are healing after surgery. The main
foods to be avoided in these conditions are spicy foods, crunchy foods, chewy food, and also
Alcohol to be avoided. We should also avoid the use of straws while recovering from wisdom
teeth removal. Straw creates a suction in the mouth that may cause the development of the dry

socket in the mouth. A dry socket is a painful condition in which the clot was protecting the area
from which the tooth was removed and this will cause that the nerves and bones of that area
would be exposed to air and which may cause pain and also delays in healing the wound.
WHEN CAN I EAT NORMALLY AFTER TOOTH EXTRACTION

After the tooth extraction we can not eat hard food as we know we should eat soft food these
days. Normally people in two weeks feel well to go back to their normal diet. We should consult

with the dentist that what should you eat in this condition. The tissues usually fully heal in about
3-4 weeks.

WHAT TO DO WHEN WE EXTRACTED OUR TOOTH

 Do not drink with a STRAW

 Do not drink HOT LLIQUID
 Don't SMOKE

WHY DOES TOOTH EXTRACTION HURT MORE AT NIGHT

Toothaches are very painful in the day but it becomes awful in the night. The first reason that,
when we are lying down blood, is rushed to the head and this extra blood will increase the pain
of the wisdom teeth and the pressure that people feel from the toothaches.

CAN WE USE TOOTHPASTE AFTER TOOTH EXTRACTION 

We can not use toothpaste in the first two weeks after tooth extraction but it is needed to be

clean that place from preventing wounds from infection. If the wound is not clean it would
damage the dry socket and cause bleeding and pain. We should use mouthwash to clean up
the extraction site that infection doesn't occur.

PROBLEMS THAT MAY OCCUR AFTER TOOTH EXTRACTION

 BLEEDING
 PAIN
 INFLAMMATION
 INFECTION 
 SWELLING
 BRUISING

HOW CAN WE HEAL TOOTH EXTRACTION FASTER

We should avoid physical activities and rest at home and put an ice pack on the face for 10-15
minutes and 10-15 minutes off to keep the swelling down. Eat soft foods and take the
prescribed antibiotics. Keep the mouth clean that the infection may not occur in the mouth.

Eat foods that are rich in VITAMINS such as Vitamin A and C. These vitamins will support the
healing process. So load up on foods like eggs, fish, sweet potatoes, and stewed carrots.

HOW BAD DOES DRY SOCKET HURT

The main symptoms of dry sockets are an increase in pain and odor in the mouth. Usually, the
pain and swelling after the tooth extraction get better over the week. With a dry socket, the

pain begins after few days of surgery and significantly worse. The pain may feel like that it has
covered the whole side of your mouth or face.

SIGNS OF INFECTION

 FOUL SMELL from the mouth

 SWELLING in the mouth
 Oozing discharge especially Pus
