Post-surgery eating: It sounds like you're ready to eat solid foods. It's best to add "gentle"solid foods like pancakes, eggs, mashed potatoes, soft pasta or anything you can cut easily with a fork, to your diet. It is best to avoid crunchy, hard foods like popcorn, nuts and chips for one week following surgery.

WISDOM TOOTH: My dentist suggested me to remove all of my wisdom tooth. One of them has a large cavity (bottom left) and the other is growing inwards. The one with cavity pains but the other is alright. Is it necessary to get all four removed?
