Answers:

I went thru the same thing as you I had my four teeth pulled before getting my braces after they take them out they usually give you vicodines or other pain killers and yes you will be in pain when the medicine wears off you should sterilize your mouth every now and then especially after you try to eat when you chew try to avoid using the beack of your mouth where they were pulled so it avoids infection watch what you eat also by the 2nd or 3rd day, you should be able to sample soft food, and little by little, you can start mushing regular foods around with your front teeth.pudding, ice cream, jello, mashed potatoes, etc. Don't forget to DRINK plenty, and you can get lots of your nutrition that way: juice (V8 Splash is delicious and gives you a serving of fruits n veggies), nutritional drinks (I LOVE chocolate Boost), milk, etc. I was able to eat mac n cheese and soft pastas (spaghettios). Some folks like to eat yogurt. I also had tomato soup (warm, not hot!) and dipped bread in it, which made it nice and easy to eat.

You'll be eating "regular" foods before you know it :-) Just be careful for the first several days, cause any food that gets stuck up in those holes can cause infection. I know because I HAVE an infection!! Rinse very gently with warm salt water after everything you eat. Good luck!!
