A member asked:
8 days after a tooth exstraction in middle of roof of mouth would i be able to eat a burger without cutting it up or will that affect the healing?

Probably: If it is stitched it should be okay. The oral mucosa heals up pretty fast.

Eating after extract: You want to keep the area very clean, rinse w warm salt water after every tie you eat. If a bone graft was placed you need to be extra careful.
