What Can You Eat After Wisdom Teeth Removal?

After wisdom teeth removal, you should eat soft or liquid foods that don't require chewing and won't irritate the healing area. Good options include blended soups, broths, Greek yogurt, mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, applesauce, mashed bananas, cottage cheese, instant oatmeal (cooled), mashed pumpkin, soft cheeses, avocado, bone broth, and soft cooked vegetables.

These foods are easy to swallow and help provide essential nutrients without disturbing the surgery site. Avoid hot, spicy, crunchy, or hard foods until your mouth has healed to prevent pain and complications.

Gradually, as you heal, you can introduce more solid foods like soft fish (e.g., salmon), ensuring they are easy to chew and swallow.
