A member asked:
Can i eat potato chips after getting my wisdom teeth out? this would be my fourth day after extraction.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe not...: I would say do not. Potato chips are hard and can cause injury in the tissues that is still healing. This can cause other complications like for example infection of the area or bleeding. Follow up with your dentist or oral surgeon on as recommended.
