Is it okay to eat after wisdom teeth removal with the blood clots still on? i can still see the blood clots in my mouth where the surgical extraction happened.

Yes: Maintaining an adequate nutrition following any surgery is important. If you are taking pain medication, it is important to have something in your stomach before taking the pain med to decrease the risk of nausea. Start with a soft diet, drink liquids, and advance your diet as tolerated.

Yes: Yes, you can continue to eat with the blood clot. Gradually, the clot will be replaced by gums and bone. You just need to be careful cleaning out the extraction site, avoid chips, popcorn and nuts so they don't get trapped in the site.
