A member asked:

I wanted to know when can i eat regular food after wisdom teeth pull?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Soon: Usually you can eat regular although soft food the evening after the surgery. I would start with some clear liquids to avoid any nausea and then you can progress to soft regular food and then to regular food as you feel you can.
