The bottom two still had a little to go, but I wanted to wait and see if it was necessary to remove them.
I figured… there seemed to be plenty of room, why fix something that wasn’t broken? The minor growing pains I experienced from the wisdom teeth wasn’t enough for me to remove them.

Although it was a bit too strong for my mouth at first, I was able to drink Kombucha again after the 5th day. (HOW I’VE MISSED YOU!)
Here's What You Can Eat After Getting Your Wisdom Teeth Removed
The majority of the pain and discomfort occurred the day of the extraction. The second day I was feeling a little lazy, and the third
48 hours after the removal, it was recommended to do a saltwater rinse! I used 2 teaspoons of sea salt dissolved into a cup of warm (filtered) water, swished for 30-60 seconds. It may seem like a lot of salt, but lower concentrations didn’t seem to help with pain much. Experiment for yourself to determine how salty you like it!
Similar to peppermint: echinacea root, ginger, garlic, onion, and a bunch of other strange things are all traditionally used for alleviating mouth pain.~ Before I had my wisdom teeth surgery, my mom and I spent a lot of time wondering exactly what I’d be able to eat after I had my wisdom teeth removed. Luckily, we thought of lots of good ideas that really helped me feel better (without being hungry all the time). We even managed to come up with plenty of healthy options!

Indian Spiced Lamb Shepherd's Pie Recipe
The world can be a frustrating place for a foodie. Sometimes you just don’t have time to cook. Sometimes you have to watch the picky eaters in your life order the exact.same.meal at every restaurant (don’t they get bored??).
And sometimes … you have to get your wisdom teeth out. And suddenly the world is full of so many scrumptious, inedible foods!
Without a little planning, it can be a dark, dismal, and HUNGRY journey through recovery! But fear not, friends – there’s hope! I’ve recently survived these difficult days without starving to death, thanks to a bit of creativity (andthe insane amount of soft foods we stockpiled beforehand).
The Best Gluten Free And Vegan Soft Foods To Eat After Dental Surgery
First off, though, I want to be clear that this post is in no way intended as medical advice! Everyone’s surgery will be somewhat different, and you should absolutely listen to the advice your surgeon and other medical professionals give you.
With that said, these ideas are some of the things my mom and I found to work well for me – that we thought might be helpful for you, as well!
So without further ado, here are some foods I found yummy, and tips I found useful, during my days of laying around with ice on my face. (Oh, and pssst … ice helps! A lot!)
Foods To Eat After Getting A Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wisdom teeth removal can be pretty painful, and it steals a good couple of days from your life. But I discovered that it also grants you an amazing immunity – you cannot be looked down upon for eating an entire carton of ice cream in one day!
Getting responses such as “Oh, you poor thing, ” rather than blatant disgust when you explain that you’ve eaten cheesy mashed potatoes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner is pretty exhilarating!
My mom did a fantastic job of stocking up on all the soft, yummy things you usually wouldn’t find in our pantry (read: anything she thought might tempt me to eat, so my meds wouldn’t make me nauseous). And while maintaining a healthy diet is always important … during recovery, sometimes finding things that are appetizing takes precedence! So if you’re ready to treat yourself to a cheat day (or several!), here are some of the things that were easy for me to eat with four big ol’ holes in my mouth:
What To Eat After Wisdom Teeth Surgery (top 10 Food)
These probably seem like super-obvious suggestions, right? Just make sure to pick flavors without any crunchy cookies or candy or nuts swirled in. And DON’T use a straw for those milkshakes (more on that later).
Healthy Upgrade: There are plenty of options for frozen yogurt and low-fat ice cream that are a bit healthier but still yummy! Or, try our “Instant” Peanut-Butter Banana Ice Cream (maybe without the fun toppings, though). It takes just 5 minutes and 5 ingredients and is full of fruit and protein!
Starting with a base of healthier ice cream also makes for healthier homemade milkshakes. For a real boost of nutrition (and a surprise superfood ingredient), try our Healthy Shamrock Shake. It’s sooooo good!
Diet After Wisdom Teeth
Also obvious! But stick to the smooth stuff – no tapioca or rice. And, even though it’s delicious, definitely save the chia pudding for later!
We grabbed a bunch of store-bought flavors on a whim, but later we found this super-easy Lemon Italian Ice recipe that would be so perfect, too.
A lmost as fun to eat as it is to play with! Individual, store-bought cups offer handy single servings and the option of buying some different varieties to keep things interesting.
Easy Vegan Wisdom Teeth Removal Food Recipes (+tips For Healing!)
Healthy Upgrade: Make some of our Layered Rainbow Jell-O before surgery day. Even when you’re holding ice packs on your face, is anything more cheering than a rainbow?!?
If you wanna take the healthy upgrades even further, you could try ditching the store-bought Jell-O packs and make your own Homemade Jell-O with natural ingredients and natural sweeteners … and without any dyes or additives. Talk about a healthy upgrade, right?!?
These were hands-down my favorite recovery food! Just be sure they’re really, really smooth, especially the first day or two. (Mmmmmm!) I indulged in buttery, cheesy mashed potatoes at practically every meal those first few days. Seriously – I ate a lot more than I should really admit …
Wisdom Tooth Wisdom: Smoothie Recipes And Skincare Fyis
Granted, this isn’t always a super “junky” junk food – done right, it can be pretty healthy. But I found that creamy, decadent, artery-clogging Stouffer’s brand was the softest and easiest to chew. (Also … uh … yum! Worth it!)
Here again, these aren’t necessarily unhealthy! You know that, here at THK, we usually go with whole wheat, which actually makes pancakes really nutritious. But this might be one time to grab a packaged brand like Eggos – they’re so soft and easy to chew!
Healthy Upgrade: If you’re gonna try to stick with a bit of nutrition, our Perfect Whole Wheat Pancakes recipe is simple to whip up, and can even be made ahead and frozen.

Plus, we’ve got tips to make them into fun, cheerful shapes! (To, yanno, distract you from the holes you’ve just had drilled in your face.)
Either way, they’re a lot softer drenched in syrup … oh, and pro tip: keep some fraction of the guilt out by using pure maple syrup!
The perfect “sick food”! I honestly didn’t eat much soup, since it just didn’t sound enticing on a hot July day. But, practically any other time of the year (especially here in Ohio), it would’ve been a slam dunk.
The 15 Soft Foods You Should Eat After Having Your Wisdom Teeth Removed
Here’s an idea that would’ve been perfect for those hot days, if only I’d found this recipe sooner! Check out this Chilled Peach Soup. It has a shockingly unanimous 5-star rating on more than 2, 000 reviews. And it sounds sooooo perfectly cool and satisfying –on those bleak wisdom teeth days, or
Definitely too tasty for their own good! You may have to skip the crust (at least for the first few days), but the rich, smooth filling of a chocolate silk pie is a perfect post-op indulgence.
Of course, while cream pies are delicious, the lingering threat of heart problems later in life is … well … not so much. 😉
Simple Mac And Cheese Recipe
While it’s a bit more of a struggle to find foods that are yummy, don’t hurt to eat, AND provide one or two decent bits of nutrition, it’s certainly doable – I found a lot of yummy treats that I was able to feel good about eating!
Another of my personal favorites. I felt like a true third-grader again, sitting on the couch watching Disney and eating applesauce! If you’re going with store-bought, I’d recommend trying some cool flavors so you don’t get bored. (But also be on the
