I'm wondering how long was it until you can start eating normally after your wisdom teeth extraction?

Once it seals.: As soon as your socket (hole) heals and closes up, you will be able to return to normal eating. Until then, it is important to avoid food impaction in the socket. If you meant "chewing food normally", you should be able to do so once the discomfort disappears. This will likely take 1-4 weeks, depending on the involvement of surgery and your healing ability. Be sure to have a balanced diet to heal!

Depends: This will depend on the amount of pain you are having and the nature of the extraction. If you are still having pain then keep the soft diet. Build up, to, normal foods as you start to, heal and have little pain.. This will differ for everyone. Use your common sense , if it hurts then don't eat it , wait a few more days.

Varies: Start with a soft diet after surgery. You can usually advance your diet as tolerated. If it doesn't hurt to eat a particular food, it's probably ok.
