When Can I Eat Solid Food After Tooth Extraction?
Permalink   
 


After a tooth extraction, it's essential to follow the recommended post-operative care guidelines to ensure proper healing. One common question is: When Can I Eat Solid Food After Tooth Extraction?

 

Generally, it’s advisable to avoid solid foods for at least 24-48 hours following the extraction, depending on how complex the procedure was. During this period, you should stick to soft foods like yogurt, applesauce, mashed potatoes, or smoothies. This helps prevent irritation to the extraction site, minimizes discomfort, and reduces the risk of dislodging the blood clot (a condition known as dry socket).
