Wisdom teeth removed, going on my 3rd day. what to eat and drink?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
What to eat?: After 72 hours following extraction, it is still best to stay on a softer diet. Avoid the small, harder items like nuts, seeds, popcorn. You want to avoid jamming anything into the sockets. Should try and at least rinse after every meal or snack. Gently brush the other teeth. Increase to a regular diet as you feel more like normal. Happy healing!

72 hours: eat soft foods include ice cream, pudding, jello, yogurt, soup (lukewarm), pancakes, mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs and pasta. After the third day, you may eat anything you wish, unless given other specific instructions by the doctor.

I had my wisdom teeth removed yesterday and today I accidentally drank out of a straw forgetting that I wasn't supposed to. Should I be worried? I am not bleeding currently nor do I feel any pain that I didn't already before drinking out of the straw.
