What to Eat After Tooth Extractions
Nutrition plays a vital role in recovery after a tooth extraction surgery. Stick to soft foods, such as yogurt, mashed potatoes, or smoothies, which are gentle on the healing area. Avoid hard, crunchy, or sticky foods during the tooth extraction recovery process. Transitioning to solid foods depends on the procedure and healing progress, but foods to eat after tooth extraction should always support the healing of the gums and tissues.
The Tooth Extraction Healing Timeline
The tooth extraction healing process typically spans one to two weeks for soft tissue recovery, while full bone regeneration can take several months. Proper tooth extraction aftercare includes managing swelling, keeping the area clean, and avoiding certain activities to ensure optimal healing. The tooth extraction healing stages include initial clot formation, tissue repair, and eventual bone regeneration. Following your dentist’s guidelines for care after tooth extractions is essential for a successful recovery.
When is an Emergency Tooth Extraction Necessary?
In certain cases, same-day tooth extractions may be required to address severe infections, trauma, or unbearable pain.
