Please advise if it's okay to eat sweets after a tooth extraction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is OK: Soft, cold food and liquids can be consumed on the day of surgery. Sweets don't damage anything, but you should avoid chewing sharp or hard objects at the surgical site for several days. Take care.
