I'm wondering how long after wisdom tooth extraction can i eat sunflower seeds?

After extractions: It would be best to wait until the socket closes before eating such foods. This may take 1-2 weeks. It's always a good policy to follow the directions of the dentist who actually performed the procedure and is responsible for your care.

Not recommended: You should avoid foods like nuts, sunflower seeds, popcorn, etc., which may get lodged in the socket areas and cause complications.

After Healing: After the gum tissue starts to fill in the socket you should be fine. Since everyone heals at a different rate, it's hard to put an exact number on it. But anywhere between 10 and 14 days after the extraction you should be fine.
