Soon: Once the pain and bleeding starts to improve you can start with a soft diet and advance as your mouth allows. You'll be eating a normal diet before you know it!

My recommendation: Is 24-48 hours. Liqiuds and very soft food first, then ease into "normal". Your surgeon should have given specific instructions on food, please follow those. Nutrition is important. Good luck.

3-4 days: I usually recommend a soft diet for 2-3 days following extraction but this depends on the extraction itself. Each peson heals differently so after a couple of days you can start eating foods that you can tolerate. Avoid hard chewy, chrunchy, and spicy foods until you are feeling better.
