Food Tips After You Have a Tooth Removed

No one wants to have their teeth removed, but these processes can be necessary in order to help your long-term dental health. If you know that you are having a tooth extraction or if you think that you may need one in the near future, the best thing you can do is be prepared.

We understandable that you want to know about the recovery of a tooth extraction and what you can and should avoid eating after it.

To help you in preparation for an extraction we have prepared a list of what to stock up on and what to avoid after the treatment.

Foods to have post treatment:

• Sugar-Free Icy Poles
• Scrambled Eggs
• Cold Vegetable Soups
• Mash Potato
• Yoghurt
• Overnight oats
• Soft food in general

Food to avoid post treatment:

• Lollies and Chips

Now unfortunately, these are a big no no – at least until a week after your extraction. These types of food require too much chewing which can disturb the wound and can cause infection.

• Alcohol

Post extraction, it is recommended that you do not drink alcohol especially if you are taking any pain medication. Alcohol can negatively impact on the potency of your medication.

If you are dealing with tooth pain, we are here to help. You can find out what is causing the pain by coming in for an appointment, the quicker you come in for an appointment the sooner we can reduce your discomfort.

At Absolutely Dental, we believe everyone deserves a pain free smile!
