The importance of a diet after a tooth extraction
The diet after tooth extraction should provide the right amount of calories and the optimal amount of protein to regenerate the skin and gums, and thus support the wound healing process.
During the convalescence period, an adequate supply of vitamin C is also important. This compound is involved in the synthesis of collagen – a substance that forms, among others, periodontal fibers, dentin, gums and bones.
What to eat after a tooth extraction?
A few hours after tooth extraction, patients can usually take their first fluids. However, it must not be forgotten that the extraction wound is still very fresh and therefore prone to damage, especially if it was surgical removal of wisdom teeth. The mouth is then sore and sometimes severely swollen. Therefore, dentists recommend that for a minimum of 2-3 days, pay special attention to what and in what form we eat.
The menu after tooth extraction should be enriched gradually. The best solution in this case is easy to digest liquid and semi-liquid diet. It is worth reaching for cream soups, yoghurts, kefirs, cocktails, fruit and vegetable mousses, jellies, cool jelly, pudding and even ice cream. After extraction of a wisdom tooth, such a diet should be followed for up to a week.
After a tooth extraction, you should also drink plenty of fluids, but it is worth paying attention to some limitations in this regard. The drinks must not be hot, carbonated or acidic because they can irritate a fresh wound and hinder its healing. So it is best to satisfy your thirst with mineral water, isotonic or cool herbal tea.
