It can vary: After having wisdom teeth removed, you should start off with a soft diet and advance to solid foods as you can tolerate. Every patient is different as are their eating patterns following surgery. Some patients may fee they can only tolerate soft foods for the first week, while other patients resume their regular diet immediately following surgery.

Varies: Varies with degree of surgery required, subsequent postop course. If teeth are deeply impacted, could be up to a couple of weeks. With non-impacted teeth, some can eat a normal diet shortly after surgery. Follow postop instructions from oral surgeon.
