No: You should not even think about it. Fluids and your pain medication and ice top the list of things to do. Perhaps some apple sauce, gatorade, frozen gatorade ice cubes, sherbet, blended protein drink without bits and pieces of anything, soup broth, ensure, NO STRAWS or SPITTING. Follow the instructions given by the Surgeon. Good Luck.

No: Avoid eating things that will get crunched up into small, hard pieces. The fragments may penetrate into the empty tooth socket and cause an infection. Keep your diet soft, as to not aggravate the blood clot or get anything stuck up there. Also, keep your diet cold, so that your blood vessels constrict and hold the clot in place. Do this for about 2 days until your sockets are closed up.
