I have toothache. What can I eat?


Question:
I have swollen gum n my wisdom tooth is coming out! It hurt so bad, but I can still handle the pain. But I'm so hungry. The only thing I had this morning is milk, and instant noodles last night. Coz that's the easiest thing to eat that didn't hurt me so much. I need ideas on what can I eat now? Don't tell me porridge, coz I had it last 2 days. Thanx

Answers:
crackers like RITZ or saltines (wait until they get soft... in your mouth)
oatmeal
mashed potatoes
macaroni n cheese
soft bread
apple sauce
soup like cup-a-soup (it's easy, fast, and most of the time has small, swallow-able noodles)
and if it hurts too much, try using your tongue to break up the food... that's what I did when I first got my braces {which hurt all of my teeth soooo bad}
good luck!

DENTIST
Anything soft that doesn't require a lot of chewing is best. Think mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, soft breads, applesause, and soup.
I would get to your Dentist asap. If it is your wisdom tooth coming through then it may take some time. You could also get an infection if it is impacted and can't erupt. See your dentist and they will take an xray to see if it is impacted or there is infection. In the meantime, rinse your mouth often -especially after eating - with warm salty water and take some over the counter pain relief. As far as what to eat goes,I'm afraid if your mouth is that painful, then you will have to stick to soft diet. Please see your dentist as wisdom teeth trying to come thru can come and go for some time. If it is a lower tooth it may require surgical extraction. Xray will show this.
why not get your butt to the dentist so he can help you ... tuna fish is soft, peanut butter not chunky type or use some orajel get it numb and pig out before it can wake up.. Good luck lol lol
Try soup. Hope yer gum gets better mate!:]
