A member asked:
Can i eat greasy foods? like tacos, meat, pork? after a tooth extraction? i had it done on both sides. & i dont have pain.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Greasy foods: "Greasy foods" doesn't sound very healthy. If you have no problem with that, lucky you. Crunchy foods (hard taco shells) might irritate or get stuck in the extraction site. Always follow the written\oral instructions given you by your treating doctor. The more you follow instructions, the less likely any problems might develop.
