A member asked:

I'm on day 5 after my bottom 2 wisdom teeth were removed. what would you recommend eating?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

What's comfortable: At this point in healing, you can return to a normal diet if you are comfortable. Avoid the surgical areas for a few more days if possible.

Specializes in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Depends: Sutures placed - stick to soft foods, anything that can easily be separated by a fork only. For 1 week. No sutures - consistency of diet based on your comfort, so you can venture into solids.
