I'm going to get all of my wisdom teeth extracted in a few days...

I appreciate the advice. I have my mom and I know if I let her know the situation she'll tell me the same and kick my ass in gear. Thanks man

>No milk
>No rice
>No fruit juice (mostly overly acidic or starchy things, apple is fine)
You must eat soft things that, unlike rice, won't place themselves on the cavity and feed bacteria. Don't drink milk or any highly sugary or starchy because it feeds the bacteria in your mouth. You have an open wound and if you let bacteria close to it they may enter your blood stream and fucking kill you
Make chicken soup

No
No

First day or two only cold foods you don't have to chew

after that anything that you don't have to chew

I think I ate mainly mashed roasted sweet potatoes and chicken thighs

Interesting that I'm seeing this thread, OP, just got all of mine out 3 days ago. Still living through it as we speak.

Everyone's different, but don't take any suggestions that require any chewing before day 3 AFTER the surgery (that's peak soreness and pain, what I'm feeling right now). So far I've eaten:
Lukewarm pudding
Applesauce
Vanilla yogurt
Spiced tomato soup (not a great idea, was a little too acidic)
Chocolate and vanilla shakes made with ice cream/whole milk
Macaroni and cheese (just don't chew the pasta)
Lentil soup

Also, you really won't feel like cooking for yourself. I prepped both of the soups before I got the surgery and just heated them up a bit.
Also, if you have any questions besides just the food aspect, I'll probably be lurking a bit before I need to sleep.

Give more examples

BRAT diet

Don't eat Cam's hot wings, that's for fucking sure.

Having wisdom teeth out is one of the few things I truly fear and worry about.
I had a patient in her mid twenties who almost fucking died because of a fucking tooth.

I wish you all the best, OP

is that wisdom tooth angry or sorry? im having a hard time reading his expression from the eyes.

Nvm then make it BAT

looks like he doesn't give a shit about what a fuck up he is.

That only applies to the first three days

For the first day. You must take care of inflammation and not to damage the wound
>Cold and soft things (sorbets, as long as you don't drink milk or something too starchy)
>warm (but not hot) chicken soup

Second and third day. Now your biggest concern is to not re-open that cavity.
>Chicken noodle soup
>Vegetable soup, puree. Remember to clean your mouth afterwards to remove any residue

It's only three days, no need for a huge menu. Also, use the mouthwash your odontologist will give you, you won't be able to wash your teeth so an antiseptic mouth wash is a must in order to prevent infection

First time I mashed potatoes and fucking hated it. eating anything is a unpleasant chore. Second time I drank 2 arizona ice teas a day and thats it. Every part about it sucks just try to get past it.

pls elaborate
>gonna have wisdom teeth removed probably in a couple months

This. The longer you wait, the longer the roots of the tooth will grow, and the more of a risk those roots can hit your jaw nerves and cause numbing

Not him but probably a nasty post-op infection due to lack of proper care

Don't get your wisdom teeth taken out unless you're feeling actual pain.
My dentist told me all 4 of my wisdom teeth were growing sideways and were gonna impact, recommending removal.
A year later they all grew out normally.
The only pain came from teething.
Dentists are fucking scam artists.

I should clarify. It's not so much the tooth itself that will damage the nerve, it's the surgery itself. It's more difficult to extract the tooth once it's roots grow over the jaw nerve and so there's a risk of hitting it while being extracted.

I just had my bottom right wisdom tooth removed in July because it was causing me pain. I'm 28 so thankfully they were still able to pull it in time without any risks. I decided to get laughing gas instead of being knocked out because I have blood pressure issues and was afraid of the risks, but I was still pretty terrified being awake for it.
I was supposed to get the bottom left removed too but the surgeon held off because the bottom right ended up being more difficult to remove than they thought because the roots were a bit hooked. They were pretty cool to refund my money and said they would give me the laughing gas for free if I decided to come back to remove the left one.

I guess the good thing about having one tooth removed is that I was able to chew on the left side of my mouth.

The thing is, they usually recommend pulling out the teeth when they're not fully grown just in case they do cause pain down the line.

If the teeth are fully grown and somehow cause pain later on, there's more of a risk extracting them because of the teeths' roots being near the nerves in your jaw.

That's for the bottom teeth though. Dunno if there's any risks for top teeth.

...

Wisdom teeth fuck up your occlusion and lead to a shit ton of problems, they only hurt once they get infected or once they already caused a lot of problems. This problems are a lot more expensive to treat than four extractions
It is rare (1/3) to see people who can live with them just fine, most people have to get the removed

I just had two removed the other week. It was real fast I don't know why you babbies worry about this.

They can't trick me!

I was 35 when I had mine out.

Mashed potatoes to the point where the deli guy wondered aloud if I had some kind of fucked up food addiction. Soups though the high acidity ones can hurt.

You're going to have to watch things with particles like herbs. And I mean that. I had some basil pieces get stuck in my sockets. This led to crippling pain and when I went to the dentist they told me I didn't have dry socket, which would have been worse pain (Holy shit!) They then... Irrigated the sockets with ICE FUCKING COLD WATER.

>buying mashed potatoes
Holy shit seriously

this, but also fish to quench the flesh thirst. cod and mash got me through the days after I had three taken out. any flaky fish will do the job I think.

>the deli guy wondered aloud if I had some kind of fucked up food addiction

>not casually mentioning you had wisdom teeth pulled so you're stuck eating soft foods

A day or 2 after I had a wisdom tooth pulled, I went to the mall with a friend. When we went to the food court, I realized there weren't many options I could eat. I ended up getting a plate of mashed potatoes with cheese from Potatopia and just made some light convo out of it with the person who took my order
>"I would love to get the works, but unfortunately I just had a wisdom tooth pulled so..."
>"ooooh, I see. Yeah I know where you're coming from. Only mashed potatoes and smoothies, haha"

Peanut butter banana smoothie is what I lived on for a couple of days after I had a tooth extracted

Just put some peanut butter, milk and banana in a blender. Just don't drink with a straw.

I don't know if it was because of improper care or if she was just unlucky but yeah, it got infected and she developed full blown sepsis.
I'm not kidding when I say she almost died either. For about a week and a half we had her full sedated on Propofol while we treated her with several strong antibiotics IV, MASSIVE infusions of saline and nor-epinephrine IV to keep up her blood pressure. That's a pretty standard sepsis-regimen in an ICU but it just feels so wrong when you have to do it with a 25-year-old. Especially because of a fucking tooth.

I don't really know anything about how to care for the wound after having one out but whatever your dentist tells you I advice you to listen.
I don't mean to fearmonger either. Lots of people have their wisdom teeth out without almost dying of course. Just don't take the advice the dentist gives you lightly and if you develop a fever or something talk to a doctor instead of shrugging it off.

Pudding, just melt the butter before you add it. If you get painkillers you'll have a sweet tooth. As said, chili.

Im scared now...

>First time
>Second time
This is why I got all 4 of mine done at the same time. It is also why I advice any one I know that they need to have all four (if needed) done at the same time. Having your wisdom teeth out is not always horrible, I didn't nearly die, but it is not a pleasant experience. If you do them at different times, you'll know what is coming and that can lead some people to try to find reasons not to do it. It is probably going to suck, so just have it suck all at once.

I are almost e entirely Apple sauce, smoothies, and ice cream for like 4 days. My wisdom teeth came in sideways and upside down and for some reason the blood clots took forever to set so it was a fucking nightmare.
Thankfully my surgeon gave me a huge hookup on oxy so the pain wasn't a problem.

Getting them all in one hit?
That's rough.
I ate soup, yogurt, custard, baked beans, etc.
Learn what 'dry socket' is and be careful

Happened to me, I had a 3 out but left one top because it hadn't broke through. Just forgot about it and went on living.
In my 30s now and started getting a numb tingly jaw.
Had to have it cut out and some jaw bone ground away. It's dicey business as the roots touch the nerve for your whole jaw and can be permanently fucked for life by a shitty surgeon

>extracted
You mean like actual surgery?
I got two of them removed in two separate cases and it took like one and half a minute each. One minute of waiting after local anesthesia to kick in and half a minute when the dentist pulled it out. Piece of cotton to my mouth and dentist told me keep my jaws closed for two hours and take painkiller if needed.
Jaw was mildly aching like two days and thats it.
It was that simple because those teeth had grew outwards so much it was just mere pull at that point.

Just keep them brushed as best you can. Mine wouldn't have been a problem except for the fact that I couldn't get the toothbrush all the way back on the upper teeth. I didn't even realize until one developed a small hole, then a big hole, then right before I had it pulled it broke in two. Hurt like hell. I got a baby size toothbrush just for the remaining one alone and that worked out pretty well.

teeth really are poorly designed, aren't they?
>vitally important to survival
>undergo billions of abrasions over time
>wear down and are not replaced
Seriously its unacceptable that some animals don't get continuous replacements
That's the main natural cause of death for elephants is their teeth wear down so much they can't eat

>You mean like actual surgery?
I had to have mine taken out via actual surgery with general anesthesia and everything. But that is because like in OPs picture they were coming in sideways and had impacted 3 of 4 back molars.

Ate a whole lot of applesauce and Jell-o the first day and a half, then added lentil and split pea soups when I felt a little better.

Milkshakes, smoothies, soups, soft meatballs, pesto, and applesauce. You'll be fine, you just hang out in bed for a week high as dick.

Just be sure to stay hydrated the whole time. Drink tons of water.

>inb4 cognitive bias
I remember having my upper left back molar growing sideways, which had to be removed due to causing bleeding in my inner cheek and irritation. The wisdom tooth in the same area grew downwards normally and never had pain. I assume it depends how fucked up your skull and jaws are that wisdom teeth guarentees to fix.

Makes sense, guess I was lucky for it to be that simple. There's one growing from my lower jaw right now and it feels to grow straight up.

I had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled out, I was awake for the whole thing they just gave me local anaesthetic.
It was a shit day that I'd never want to relive but now they're out it's so much better.
My bottom jaw didn't have enough space for them and my top wisdom teeth were crooked and would bite the inside of my cheeks.

I just ate mushy food for a few days, veggie soup, mashed potatoes, fish.

Avoid anything with seeds, bread gets stuck down in the sockets, don't eat nuts, don't smoke anything. If you really need to smoke weed don't use a bong, roll a loose joint.

You'll be right man, the needle is the worst bit.

>Dentists are fucking scam artists.

There are a lot of dentists out there of extremely limited abilities. Mostly these are people who were aiming to become a doctor and didn't quite make it.

It's why I'll never see an Asian dentist willingly. Most of them are the kids of Tiger Moms who push them beyond the limits of their natural ability.

Add to that the need for a high degree of spatial awareness and manual dexterity, neither of which are selected for in the entry process, and you get dentists that have poor hand-eye co-ordination, poor spatial awareness, and a tendency to be clumsy and rushed.

I'm a dental technician by trade and by far the worst dentists I see are Asian. The worst type to deal with is the money-motivated Asian dentists. They're generally barely competent and don't take the time to make sure they do their work properly.

I've worked with over two hundred dentists, and of that cohort, there were maybe six that I considered really good, and maybe another ten or so that I'd send a family member or friend to. And none of them were Asian. That includes the Asian dentist/maxillofacial surgeon I worked with who teaches dentistry at one of the biggest and most prestigious universities in my country.

I remember I lived off of ensure shakes for that week instead of eating.

>few days recovering
you are the biggest pussy ever. You can eat regular food within a day. Maybe stay away ftom the most chewy foods, but regular meat, veggy, potato, pasta, etc. isn't going to be a problem.

Mate, it's not a regular tooth pull. You'll have literal gaping wounds in your mouth. If you got back to solids within a day, there's a good chance you'll trap food in the wounds and it will rot in there.

Your dentist should tell you after what should be ok and what's not. Mine actually told me to avoid using straws or anything involving sucking. Its because they put a small piece of spongy stuff in the cavity and you don't want to accidentally displace it. Otherwise anything soft should be alright.

Lots and lots of Riec
