Foods I Can Eat After Having My Teeth Pulled

RE: Foods I Can Eat After Having My Teeth Pulled Post By Claire (Guest Post) (10/09/2008) I had my tooth pulled out yesterday and I was in agony for the rest of the day. A few good pain killers and a sleep made me feel better. As for food I would suggest anything you would feed your baby that has no teeth is ok for you to eat. Make sure its warm NOT hot or cold food. Take your time and rinse your mouth with warm salty water after every meal and before bed.

Today, I had all of my lower teeth pulled, in 3 appointments. However, the dentures are not yet ready. I found that Carnation Instant Breakfast is a great way to swallow milk loaded with needed vitamins. I also drink Vitawater, to ensure I get the daily nutrients I need. I drink warm, not hot soup with crackers soaked up, to absorb the acid. I also found that I can take a small food processor and finely chop food and ad to liquid to swallow, to get the same taste and nourishment. But, I do look forward to learning to chew with my new dentures, when they arrive. I'm still in pain, at the moment, but I will move forward and take anyone's advice, of the same.

I really haven't eaten much but I don't have that much pain. I have been eating jello and applesauce. I ate a ham sandwich yesterday and it took me a long time to eat it because I didn't want to get anything on my left side where I got my teeth pulled out at.

I think rice is bad because it can get stuck in the hole you just got your teeth pulled out of. Bananas are good yogurt and shakes are good because you drink them, also jello and pudding are good. Good luck! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Foods I Can Eat After Having My Teeth Pulled Post By Noelle (Guest Post) (04/18/2008) Hey I just had 4 teeth removed due to the need of braces soon.

Something happens to the flavor. I just had my last 3 pulled 2 days ago and I found that I can eat anything, I can comfortably swallow. I just made my normal beef stew, except I cut every thing smaller. By the time it was all cooked (slowly for 2.5 hours) everything was plenty small enough to swallow. For the occasional larger piece, I would just smash it with my fork. I found the same is true with chili & bean soup. And it all tastes so much better. I don't care for prepared foods much so I usually cook my own meals.

I used a turkey baster, slightly widened the end so a cigarette would fit into it snuggly. Then I would squeeze the bulb of the baster, insert the lit cigarette, let out the bulb slowly. Then I could breath in slowly & squeeze the bulb at the same time inhaling the smoke. Now I don't have to suck or draw on a cigarette which is a big cause of a dry socket.

It doesn't sound appetizing, but, you can get the nutrients you need. I used to do this for my grandmother when she could no longer wear her dentures. I gave her everything! Cook meats (roast beef, ham etc...) until soft, and puree them with potatoes. Beans & corn are a little tricky, because of the skin. When you puree your veggies - add a little milk and enough butter or margarine and seasonings to your liking in a blender....AND AWAY YOU GO!! =-) If you need to talk to me about how to go about doing this or need any other ideas, feel free to contact me at justchrli@yahoo.ca. Good luck with everything!

I had my entire upper level pulled at one time, and the entire lower level at one time. On each occasion, I proceded to live on mainly campbell soups -- "Cream of" until my gums started to harden, then I graduated to vegetarian types, and finally to those w/ meat in 'em. The last food I got back to eating solid was fish. Due to the bones.

And yes, i do have to have them all pulled. My dentist has been pulling them in sessions, and all my teeth, top and bottom, on the sides are pulled. Tomorrow he starts with the front teeth. It is going to feel like forever before my dentures come in. Not looking forward to being with out teeth for any length of time.

Soft macaroni and cheese. Rice and shredded chicken, or spanish rice. You can over cook any of these to make them softer, or add more sauce. Canned soups of different flavors. Maybe canned pasta like Chef Boyarde. Maybe these aren't good for the first day or two but after that should be fine. Good luck, and I'm one of the people who had a temporary set put in right away. Worked great. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Foods I Can Eat After Having My Teeth Pulled Post By Tina H (Guest Post) (03/03/2007) Good luck with your teeth! I work in a special needs class room and I can tell you that you can puree almost anything in a blender and eat it. It does not look very appetizing, but you can eat oatmeal mixed with pureed fruit, you can puree your meats and vegetables, and you can puree smoothies that are healthy and tasty. So, if you can get over how things look, you can still get good nutrients and get full when you puree what you might normally eat. My student gets frozen dinners and we puree them sometimes, and the kitchen at school purees all the vegetables, and the meats for her also. I hope every thing goes well for you! My friend also recommend using a juicer if you have one and supplementing juice concotions with your meals.

The dish tasted like a tamale casserole. I took a can of meat chili without beans and put the contents in my blender. After the chili was blended I put it in a small pot, heated it, and kept it on warm until I was ready for it. I then cooked a bowl of polenta (or sometimes grits). After the polenta (or grits) were cooked, I stirred in grated yellow cheese until the polenta was a bright, rich yellow. I spooned the polenta (grits) into a baking dish, and made a well in the center. I then put the chili in the center, sprinkled the top with cheese and put it in the oven until the cheese was melted. Voila! A tasty tamale pie with no chewing needed.

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Foods I Can Eat After Having My Teeth Pulled Post by NanaNewfy (1) | (02/28/2007) Contact Hi Ya JMZ, The best advice I recieved when I had my last 9 teeth pulled was, start drinking pineapple juice a couple days prior to the extractions. The reason being, and this goes for any surgery by the way, is the pineapple juice contains properties that aid in the healing and the speed of the healing of the wound, or in this case, your gums. And I can testify it really does work! So pucker up, down the pineapple juice, forget the silly adheisives!! And welcome to gummersville! NanaNewfy ;0) Report Spam or Abuse
