What Can I Eat After Tooth Extraction? 7 Tips from Art De Dente Melbourne CBD

Eating the first meal after tooth extraction may seem an effort, so don’t forget to carefully remove any gauze or cotton at the extraction site.

Gently rinse your mouth to make sure oral hygiene and to prevent any blood from getting mixed with your food.

1. Soup
   Pureed vegetable soups are easy on your mouth and teeth because there are no large pieces of vegetable or meat that you would have to chew.
2. Applesauce

3. Yogurt

   Eggs are a rich source of protein and good for breakfast or dinner when you need to be careful with your teeth and mouth after extraction.
5. Oatmeal

   Get a lot of nutrients in only a few bites of mashed potatoes, which you may need if you’re struggling to eat after your dental surgery.
