What would you recommend eating after your wisdom teeth have been removed?

A friend is about to have her wisdom teeth removed and I want to make her a gift basket with stuff that she can eat and use.

What would you recommend eating after your wisdom teeth have been removed?
get her soft foods - most are fridge stored, like custards, jelly, ice-cream - also, get her some bongella (teething gel) as it will help with the pain.

Pastas are also a good, soft food to eat to get a little more sustinance, also mashed potato (she shouldn't eat rice for a few weeks, either, as it can get caught in the hole left from the extraction)
Reply:You are supposed to eat foods like mashed potatoes, Ice Cream, Jello, Pudding, and other non-solid foods for the first 48-72 hours. Mainly because solid foods will cause great amounts of pain, and chunks might get stuck in the sockets and inflict pain also.
Reply:Soups, puddings, jello, mashed potatoes, oatmeal...anything that doesn't require chewing.
Reply:Liquids. They have this really cool stuff, its sort of like what the astronauts eat...its liquid food in tthese neat little bags that you suck on. They're great after having your wisdom teeth pulled! :]
Reply:Milkshakes, pudding, jello, anything smooth with no chunks (i.e. no oatmeal) no biting and no straws
Reply:Anything soft..such as yogurt, cottage cheese, puddings, ...even scrambled eggs..as long as they aren't hot! Anything hot or even very warm can dislodged the blood clots! Try not to give anything gritty either...it can get in the tooth holes! If in serious doubt, ask her oral surgeon! He/She should provide a list of edible foods!!

Reply:soup, pudding, jello, mashed potatoes, anything soft!
Reply:Stay away from hot foods!!!!! Try anything cold like milkshakes, ice cream. Have things that are soft like jello, pudding.
Reply:chocolate pudding cups are manna from heaven

split pea soup in a can

ice cream, but maybe not a good thing to leave in a basket

cream soup, like cream of mushroom soup

noodles and sauce packets, instant mashed potatoes



and fun straws from the dollar store
Reply:I recommend an assortment of yogurts and puddings. Sometimes the healing process is really easy (my friend was eating hamburgers 2 days later), but if it is a bit more difficult, soft, creamy foods are the best option.
Reply:I ate almost nothing but ice cream for a week. My face and gums were swollen and very painful. The cold soft ice cream is easy to swallow and kind of soothes your swollen gums. Malts are good too. When I was ready for something a little more substantial I had home made mashed potatoes with butter. Yummy!!! Takes a while before you're ready for solid food.
