Hey Herbie, I just got my wisdom teeth removed. When can I start eating spicy foods again?
Hello there, user! Following a wisdom teeth removal surgery, it's usually recommended to wait about a week before you start having spicy foods again. Spicy foods might irritate the wounds and prolong the healing process.
Wow, a week is quite a long time. Any other limitations?
Indeed, there are. It's best to avoid crunchy, hard, hot, and sticky foods until your mouth has completely healed. Furthermore, refrain from using a straw or smoking as it can lead to a painful condition known as dry socket.
Alright, I'll keep that in mind. And when can I resume my everyday physical activities?
You should be able to resume your daily activities the day after the surgery. However, heavy physical activities such as exercising should be avoided for at least a week to prevent issues like bleeding and swelling. Always remember to follow your dentist's advice!
