Foods I Can Eat After Having My Teeth Pulled |
|
|
I have to have all my teeth pulled to get dentures, weak teeth run in my family. I was wondering what kinds of food will be soft to eat, that don't require any chewing, besides the usual mashed potatoes, pudding, and Jell-O. Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated, as monday I will only have a few teeth on top until they pull those, then no teeth.
Thank you! jmz2005 from illinois

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.

I'm getting ready to have full dentures. 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 don't feel that bad and I just had two of my teeth pulled two days ago and I doing ok. 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.

Chicken and corn soup from a Chinese shop, packets of flavored noodles cut up really little, and all the other stuff has been covered by everybody good luck. Could anybody tell me how long it takes for the majority of the pain to go. My partner had all his top teeth out 5 days ago and he is still in a pretty bad way any assistance would be grateful.

I just got my teeth pulled. 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!

I just got a tooth pulled and I'm in so much pain. I have been eating eggs, pancakes and pudding. Is there anything else I can eat? Can't even chew anything. Pasta is too hard!

STAY AWAY FROM GRAINS OR RICE - They can get caught in the socket and cause MAJOR problems.....

My husband just has his teeth done, and like most everyone else has said I bought soup, pudding, ice cream, ensure, oatmeal, pancakes ( if you use butter and syrup it makes for very soft eating)

I make smoothies with a combination of fruits, yogurt, lemon juice to taste, about 6 servings, then freeze some of them.

Beef Stew........Yum
Personally, I don't like pureed foods. 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.

Smokers can get dry a socket very easily. What to do?
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.

Well, the way I look at it, you can have anything you want. You just puree everything. 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!

jmz, I have been there, got that and couldn't afford the t-shirt afterwards. 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.

RE: Foods I Can Eat After Having My Teeth Pulled
Thank you all for all the great ideas. 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.

I just made tuna noodle casarole and think this would be a good soft food. 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.

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.

My mother in law had to have her teeth pulled and after a week or two was dying for something besides mashed potatoes, etc. I came up with a recipe that she loved and while it was still soft, it made her think she was getting "real food." 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.

I dont know if you live in a large city but if you shop around you can find a place that removes all the teeth that need removed and put your denture in the same day. Sound wierd? research it.. or talk to friends.. its amazing. You will be eating soft foods the same night. Research same day dentures on google. Good luck! :) This place is in Mishawaka Indiana.. there are many places like this tho. http://www.afdent.com/mishawaka/about/denture_institute.htm

Do you HAVE to have all your teeth pulled? Can't you have partials? You should try to save any teeth you have as long as you CAN - because there are all sorts of complications from having false teeth - like gum irritations - and so on....

Try other things like cream soups (let them cool a bit),instant breakfasts pureed with bananas work too, as does most anything you can puree. My girlfriend went through this a few years back and had fun coming up with things she could still enjoy just by putting them in her blender, sometimes having to add a bit more liquid then usually. Hope this helps.

My man had implants recently. He ate scrambled eggs a lot and overcooked small shapes pasta. I would also cook small pastas in chicken broth until very soft.

I have my dentures but find foods taste so much better if eaten with them out. (AT HOME, OF COURSE) I enjoy scrambled eggs, oatmeal, creamed asparagus on toast, macaroni and tomatoes, mac and cheese and lots of the softer foods. Create.

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)
