can i eat ice cream after wisdom teeth removal

Yes, you can. Ice cream is usually recommended after wisdom teeth removal. It's soft and easy to eat, which helps you avoid the surgical areas. Plus, the cold temperature can help to numb the area and provide some relief from discomfort.

In general, you should stick to soft ice creams that don't contain any chunks such as nuts or large pieces of fruit, which could possibly irritate the surgical area. As for flavors, I would suggest avoiding too hot or spicy. Mild and creamy flavors like vanilla, strawberry or chocolate are good choices.

You can usually start eating ice cream within a few hours after the surgery, but make sure to follow the advice of your dentist or oral surgeon. They will give you specific guidance on when it's safe to start eating after surgery.

It's usually recommended to follow a soft diet for about a week after wisdom teeth removal. However, everyone's recovery process is different. So, it's best to follow the advice of your dental professional who will be aware of your specific circumstances.

Certainly! Aside from ice cream, you can also consider yogurt, smoothies, mashed potatoes, well-cooked pasta, scrambled eggs, and soups (just ensure they are not too hot). These are all great options that provide nutrition without irritating your surgical sites.
