Hello. Wisdom tooth extraction after 4-5 hours when the wound has begun to stabilize, you can eat soft foods such as soup, normal porridge, should not chew at the position of the tooth just extracted. Remember to rinse your mouth thoroughly after eating because food can be stuck in the spit, causing inflammation.
In the first few days after tooth extraction, you should eat soft and easily digestible foods so that the jawbone does not have to work as much. You can refer to the article: "Instructions for care after wisdom tooth extraction", hopefully the article will provide useful information for you.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards.
