When can i eat a burger after wisdom teeth removal reddit

After having the surgery, often patients ask how long after wisdom teeth removal can I eat a burger? It is better to wait for a few days. Immediately after tooth extraction, the exposed area needs time to heal itself; hence try choosing liquid or soft semi diet for the next one or two days. Biting on something hard can damage the cloth and cause bleeding and infections. Besides avoid using the side where surgery is done, use the other end to chew your food. Moreover, take care of hygiene as bacteria can spread rapidly, causing infections. Rinse your mouth regularly with warm salt water after every meal.

During this time, the condition is crucial, and any lousy bite will damage the clot resulting in profuse bleeding. Try to have liquids or very soft semi-solid food that doesn’t require chewing. You can have smoothies, milkshakes, fresh fruit juices, or other similar items. Do not even think of biting a slice of pizza or burger at this critical stage; otherwise, the consequence can be worse. Prohibit the use of straw at this stage as any sucking action in your mouth will directly affect the clot. Sip beverages in small quantities straight from your mouth.

After a day

Often people don’t prefer eating much after tooth extraction for a few days. After a day, continue with the same meal as discussed above. You can add soup and coffee but not hot ones, first cool them and bring them to room temperatures. Remember sipping nothing that is too hot and can disrupt the clot, besides lower down the sugar level in these liquids as they trigger bacteria’s growth. You can have soft veggies and fruits like mashed potatoes, bananas, avocado, peach, etc. However, don’t forget to rinse your mouth.

After 48 – 72 hours

Now you can start with a bit of solid food but still not a burger. Few choices of foods can be scrambled eggs, dairy items, or other pureed items. Don’t have it hot, but bring it to warm temperatures. At this stage, the area has started healing and will be back to normal with proper care.

After 2 or 3 weeks

Now you can start with your favorite foods like burgers or pizza; however, take care to chew it from the other side of your mouth. Chew and bite slowly so that if any stitches are still not healed properly, they don’t rupture. It is better to take advice from your practitioner before starting a complete solid diet after tooth removal, especially in wisdom teeth.

Further to judge your situation about how long after wisdom teeth removal can I eat a burger, make sure you don’t have any of the following conditions after a few weeks to start eating solid food.

I’m at 2.5 months and this is where I am at for all of those foods. It’s different for everyone and my timeline is for when I personally could start eating these things with full enjoyment. For reference, I couldn’t eat properly until I got my stitches removed at the two week mark.

Tried a chip or two a few days ago but none of those other things.
I’m avoiding burrito due to rice but maybe 2-3 weeks if you’re using a syringe to irrigate.
As soon as your jaw opens enough to have that should be okay but I’d wait maybe 2-3 weeks. I had to wait two months to eat burgers because of my jaw, I’m still avoiding burger buns with sesame seeds.
Chana masala should be fine, just avoid cumin seeds I think. I started eating spicy food pretty early. Have you heard of shahi paneer? Super easy to eat if you get a craving and you can make it less spicy.
3 weeks
As soon as you’re able to eat solids. I would’ve been able to have this at the two week mark.
As soon as possible. For me it was two weeks but if it weren’t for my stitches than after the 5th day.
I’ve never had sushi so not sure about this one

Got'em extracted 'bout 5 days ago, now. Mouth is still too swollen to close entirely/chew, BUT I thinks I see new tissue forming over the sockets; recovery may be nigh. S'anyway, I NEED to know how long I must wait 'til I can confidently eat [actual food] like on this sub. Like, for you, how long did you wait to eat a cheeseburger again?

level 1

Not until I fully healed, which took a few weeks. Risking dry sockets is NOT worth any food item. Stick to soft things, and no straws in drinks (suction can pull at the clots), and no "tiny" foods like rice or couscous that can get stuck in the socket.

level 2

Yeah, that's the thing I'm a bit direction-less about. For the last week, I've been sustaining on handfuls of chocolate pudding/mashed potatoes (student-budget); I'm soo malnourished! So, you got any good soft foods I can properly live on?

level 1

I ate a steak the same day I had mine out, But then I decided to have mine taken out in two lots so that I could chew on the un-effected side.

It took about 2 weeks before I was chewing even;y on both sides. You don't want to try before you are ready, because dry-socket is a bitch.

You can blend up a burger with some beef stock and have burger soup.

When can I eat a burger after getting wisdom teeth out?

If there is still a lot of pain after three days, a patient should delay introducing solid foods back into their diet. In most cases, a patient will be able to get back to their normal routine and diet within the first seven days following the extraction of their wisdom teeth.

Can I eat a burger 4 days after extraction?

Avoid chewing from the extraction site for about two weeks following the procedure to disrupt and delay the healing process. While you can begin to eat your usual foods after three days, avoid very hot, spicy, acidic, sticky, and crunchy foods until your gum and jawbone is fully healed.
