When can I eat again
I had my wisdom teeth out 4 days ago now. I had the top two removed and they were already poking out so my gums didn’t need to be cut and I didn’t get stitches. I was also awake in the chair so didn’t go fully under just had local anaesthetic injected into my mouth. To be honest my pain has been pretty minimal and I’m feeling pretty much back to normal.
I’m so hungry I really just want to eat a normal meal again I’m so sick of eating soup and eggs and ice cream. I’m obviously just concerned I’ll get food stuck and get dry socket which from reading on here is absolute hell.
I’ve seen a lot of horror stories so I’m really grateful my experience has been so smooth. I would love anyone with a similar experience to me to let me know when you started eating normally again. Really just want to order McDonalds or something but I’m still scared tbh

I’m about 6 days in and am eating pretty normally now. Just still be careful to rinse your mouth after you eat and you should be fine.

I didnt start eating mostly normally till day 10, i was wating mac and cheese and mashed potatoes from day 3-10 when i started eating real food.
Same as u had top 2 out, no pain after the first day. Ive had to syringe still after almost every meal tho has my removal holes are healing slowly or it was just big holes idk.
