Do I have to wait months or more after wisdom tooth extraction to eat solids?!


Question: Do I have to wait months or more after wisdom tooth extraction to eat solids!?
Got my wisdom teeth out two weeks ago and I feel great!. I want to eat solids but keeps getting food in the holes!. I rinse them out after every meal, but should I just hold off on solid foods!? Or is eating and rinsing okay!? For those of you who have had their teeth taken out, how long did you wait before eating normally!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
You should be eating anything you want by now, especially if you are completely comfortable!. Just rinse after eating!. I hope you have one of those curved-tip plastic irrigating syringes for flushing out the sockets!. They make it a lot easier and more effective!. If you don't have one, ask your dentist if he/she can give you one!. If not, look in a drug store for one!. You could also use an ear syringe, but I'd buy a new one that has not been in anyone's ears!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Two weeks is more than enough time!. Definately eat whatever you want! The holes will take a while to fill in, since you are growing bone in that space!. If it really bothers you then do what me and my husband did!. Carry around tweezers with you and just take out any annoying chunks with those, at least until you can rinse your mouth again!. Its been two weeks so you are healed, now you are just waiting for the bone to grow in!. So dont be afraid and eat!
I started eating normally two days later!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I waited until i could successfully stuff those delicious mcdonald french fries into my mouth, it hurt like!.!.!.!.well anyways i think rinsing is good and important because it will be awhile before they close completely!. Ask a dentist for a good rinse and always be careful of the dry hole because from what i understand that hurts!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You can eat solid foods!. Make sure you keep the holes clean by rinsing with mouthwash or saltwater!. After my wisdom teeth were taken out I was able to eat solid foods the next day!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

FYI,
you have to keep cleaning food from the holes until these holes completely heal shut, usually several weeks, more than just two!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
