when can i eat a burger after wisdom teeth removal
Hey Taylor, just curious. When can I eat a burger after wisdom teeth removal?
Hey! While I'm not a dentist, I can tell you that it's generally recommended to wait at least a week or two after the surgery before eating foods like burgers. It could be longer, depending on your own recovery progress.
Oh, I see. But why do I need to wait for that long?
Well, after the procedure, your gums are healing and you should avoid anything that might disrupt that process. Eating harder foods too soon can cause discomfort, prolong healing, or even lead to complications like infections.
That makes sense. What should I eat then?
Sticking to soft foods and liquids is safest right after surgery. Things like soup, yogurt or apple sauce are good options. And don't forget to stay hydrated! But always make sure to follow the specific advice from your dentist or oral surgeon.
