A member asked:

Dumb question but is it ok to eat popcorn 3 months after wisdom tooth extraction? some friends waited 6 months but i'm craving popcorn

Eat what you want: As long as your mouth doesn't hurt you can eat whatever you want. If you're really anxious about this then call the dental surgeon who extracted your wisdom tech and ask.
