Can I eat now?!


Question: I got a tooth removed 5 hours ago, and it has pretty much stopped bleeding. It hurts... but thats normal ( right?? )
Im really hungry... but Im afraid of swallowing because Im afraid it will dislodge the clotting and cause some sort of.... Something. Is it ok to swallow?

Yes you may eat. Let me give you some suggestions of what you cant eat though. You may not eat the fallowing:
a) Salsa or chile
b) you make not drink any "cola" sodas, coffee, and alcohol.
Some other suggestions are that if your going to drink something, drink straight from the glass dont use "straw"; dont stay in the sun for long, dont carry objects that are to heavy for you. I recommend you rinse when your done eating, and when yoiu rinse dont do it hard or with pressure, rinse softly. A very good tip is mixing mild water and salt in a cup and rinsing with that, the salt will help you heal faster. And almost forgot, if you smoke try not to. Always keep your mouth clean.
Its normal the wound hurts; take some "Advil" or some paracetamol of 500 milligrams every 6-8 hrs.

Try to eat something on the soft and chew it on the opposite side of where you got the tooth removed. It should have healed enough to eat but to be sure, don't have anything hard for the rest of the day.

juts think wat babies eat like mashed potato, and other fruit that is like the baby gerber food but mostly like fruit and chew with the opposite side of the removed tooth but if its one of the front tooth chew with the teeth on the side

You can eat a cold and not a cool soup, you can also eat an ice cream which is usually recommended by some dentists after extraction or any other oral surgery and don,t worry about swallowing because you have been swallowing your saliva tens of times during the past 5 hours. You can start eating warm food as of tomorrow noon.
