Happy Birthday in advance..

You will be able to eat full on Friday.

Avoid Chocolates, Coffee ,Cakes and sweets that get stuck into the teeth.



I think it depends from person to person, young, old, kind of tooth, small in front, big on the back...
A small toot in a young person takes very little time to heal, in 2 or 3 days time you will be eating normally again... if it is a big one from the back it will take longer, it will leave a bigger hole that will take longer to close.
