Thread: Wisdom Teeth out

ouch...how long is it gonna hurt? I have to get mine removed next month and was just curious.

As far as soft foods...there's always everyone's fav - the good 'ol protein shake!

Honestly when I got my wisdom teeth out I simply went all out on protein shakes. Luckily, we can still eat oatmeal with no problem. But mostly - let your mouth heal. Personally it only took me about three days before I could eat solid food again. Good luck!

What the hell? The wisdom teeth is that big one in the back? I took one out but I ate normally two hours later.

I had local and all 4 taken out at once. I drove myself home and felt better after 3 days. I was also back to solid food after about 2 days. Yogurt and cottage cheese are good, as are protein shakes. You could also try pureeing or mashing up your food.

heh.. don't think that you are thinking about the same teeth we are. Having your wisdom teeth removed involves a -surgery-.

Hence, you saying "I took one out" leads me to believe that we are not on the same topic.

I couldn't eat solid food for about 5 days. Thank god its over with.

Not sure of the recovery time.. I've heard from 3 days to 2 weeks.. I am swollen up now like you wouldn't believe.. Most of the pain has subsided.. I've eaten soup,oatmeal, even ate some turkey (Really slow). Lots of cottage cheese.. Yogurt.. Apple sauce..

Anything can be liquidised with a good blender!

Make up shakes - Skim milk, yoghurt, banana, berries, cottage cheese, whey, PB cinnamon... Oats can be added as well..

You can cook up some oat bran and stir in yoghurt, PB and protein powder.

Mashed sweet potato is very soft enough (you just have to whip it A LOT) - then just mash some hard boiled eggs and mix them through too....

Eggs in general are great - scrambled, omlettes, soft boiled and mashed. Very soft and a good protein source.

Make protein pudding with protein powder, some flavourings and some xanthum gum...

Make some soups and then stir through cottage cheese...


You could even try the famous 'tuna shake'!

There are some idea's in these threads:
Oral Surgery
Shake only diet.
