A member asked:
Is a can of chunky soup with potato chunks safe to eat after a tooth extraction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Not a good idea as the pieces may get in the socket and disrupt the clot and cause a dry socket. Opt for plain beef or chicken broth, or cream soup without pieces of anything in it -- tomato is good. Be careful and have a non-eventful healing process. Good luck.
