People who have had wisdom teeth pulled
I had all 4 done this morning. I was knocked out but my tongue, lower lip, and chin area are still numb. When does this go away?
Also, what did you eat? I have pudding, jello, ice cream, tomato soup (not hot).. but what else? And how long do you eat soft foods for?
I posted yesterday how I was so scared, but this was not bad at all (so far). I am really surprised. I have NO pain at all right now and am taking the pain meds to prevent it.
TIA!

Re: People who have had wisdom teeth pulled
I stuck to the foods you mentioned plus a strawberry McDonald's Milkshake- my favorite.
The numbness will go away in a few hours so DON'T stop taking the pain meds thinking you are doing ok- the pain later on is intense- at least it was for me once the numbness wears off.
Feel better

No straws! (dry sockets)
I barely ate and I had minimal pain (had all 4 done, too). You could also try eggs.

Re: People who have had wisdom teeth pulled
The numbness should go away by tonight. As far as what to eat, I lived on ice cream, mashed potatos, scrambled eggs for like week when my stitches were finally taken out. Relax and take it easy!!!

Re: People who have had wisdom teeth pulled
I had slight numbness for about a mth or so, I even drooled when I drank or ate...ugh.
But the dr assured me it would come back and it did.
Hopefully yours comes back sooner. Glad it is over!

Re: People who have had wisdom teeth pulled
I had them done on a saturday and was back to work and eating on monday.
another good idea, besides what was already mentioned, is applesauce. Chunky if you want some sustenance
