It has been 7 days since I got my wisdom teeth pulled. My jaw is still a little !
Question:
It has been 7 days since I got my wisdom teeth pulled. My jaw is still a little tight. Can I eat regular food?
I still have a little pain but nothing like before. My jaw is still a little tight and I have a little hard time chewing. But my main concern is food getting into the holes and not being able to get it out. And I am afraid if food gets into the holes I will get dry socket. My dentist said the risk for dry socket goes away after 10-14 days. But I am so sick of eating soft foods. What do you think?
By the way I know I ask a lot of questions. If you dont like it then dont read my questions. (A few people made remarks about me asking questions. Isnt that what this place is for?)

Can't you get dry socket if you spray the holes directly with a syringe?
Answers:
Dry sockets really really really hurt, so take the advice of your dentist. That said, I only ate soft foods for a couple of days after having my wisdom teeth out and had no problem.
