How long should I wait to eat pasta and steak after having my wisdom teeth extracted?
I just had two wisdom teeth pulled on Monday this week. I have no pain or swelling. I have been living off of chocolate pudding, mashed potatoes and broths. When is a good time to try spaghetti, steak, fish or chicken? Any suggestions of other soft foods besides, yogurt,soup,eggs,potatoes and such?

Answers:
you can go back to your regular diet-- they really just want you to be careful for a day or so--you are way out of the woods.
just rinse after eating
the pasta can be eaten as long as it is soft too=I think you should hold off awhile yet on the steak

You can eat whatever you want as soon as the numbness wears off (last thing you wanna do is chew into your cheek). But yeah, it's mostly a pain tolerance thing. If you can chew, eat away. If not, then don't. I was eating spaghetti-o's as soon as the numbness wore off. Pasta is actually a pretty good thing to live off for a few days...lol. And fish is actually a really good idea. There's not a lot of chewing required...
