Nice!.!.!.!.!.!.!.yes, from the next day you can start taking semi-solid food-stuffs and gradually within the next 2-3 days you would definitely be able to take normal diet!.

Regarding pain and all, please expect some sort of swelling on the lower jaw within a day or so!.!.!.!.which will last for 3-4 days ( which is quite NORMAL after this surgery)!.!.!.!.for which you might be already taking some medicines!.

Just be very particular about warm saline gargles, Betadine gargles and tongue-scraping!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.and of course, normal tooth brushing has be started ASAP!.!.!.!.!.!.from next day, it can be quite safely resumed !!

Get well soon !!Www@Answer-Health@Com

When my wisdom teeth were done, all 4 were impacted, and after the surgeries, I looked like a chipmunk from the swelling!. I had to sip from a straw to get any food in me!. The opening was such that I could not press my 5th pinky finger past the teeth of my mouth!. That is how swollen I was!.!.!.

Anyway, I would suggest what I did because I never had any infections or "dry pockets" develop!. I used a Waterpik? device and put in warm water and Listerine antiseptic mouthwash (that's what was available back in 1979)!. I made sure to spray good and often!.

I would say that to begin chewing on the OPPOSITE side, mostly soft foods for the first day or so!. Graduate into firmer foods, but still focus on just the non-surgical side!. Eventually, you will feel the swollen tissue has gone down to normal!. Gradually chew soft foods on your right side (toast for example), and you should be 100% fine by the end of the week!. You can always down some vitamin-enriched drinks like Boost? or Ensure? or Carnation Instant Breakfast ? for choices!.

since its your first day, you should stick to liquids or stuff like pudding or yogurt!. If your pain level isn't too bad, you can probably eat soft foods like ravioli if you cut the pieces small!. Also be careful to not get food stuck on your bottom side because of your incision which might become infected, so chew on your left side!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Oh, man, the dentist only gave you Darvocet!? That reall, really, really sucks!.!.I'm sorry!!! There is a positive to having wisdom teeth pulled, and that positive is good narcotics! I was given a script for 100 (LUCKY I KNOW!) percocets!!! Those things ruled!. I just took advil, washed my mouth out with salt water, and used frozen peas until the pain went away!. When it went away, it was on! I stayed high as F for over a week!.!.!.man, that was great!. But, darvocet, HOW CRAPPY!.!.i'm sooo sorry for youWww@Answer-Health@Com

yes good!.!. wisdon teeth are suppose to be pulled if they dont fall on time!.!.!. which will create a space or passage for the successors!.

sometimes impaction is found so no worry !.!. ur pain will go off very soon !. as it is common after minor surgeries!. just take the medications on time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i thin it is too soon to chew, stay on the liquid diet for a day or two and see what the swelling does, then go from there!. soft solids might be ok for you right nowWww@Answer-Health@Com
