I have no clue what to eat is my problem, other than broth or something? any ideas on anything that I could eat?? Thanks so much!! Lyn.

Make soups. Cook veggies in chicken broth (cabbage, tomatoes come to mind) and then you can puree the veggies after they are cooked. That will thicken the soup. You could also fry up ground beef and sausage very fine crumbles to add to it. Add some cream for a creamy texture.

Maybe chicken broth, broccoli (pureed) and some cream cheese. Yum, that sounds really good.

Oh, and if you have a crock pot...cook chicken like for 7 or 8 hours and that chicken will be sooooo soft and you'll also have fresh chicken broth.

I reccommend making everythign super tiny and very soft. I know what one wisdom tooth extraction was like and I feel very bad for you having 4 taken out. I really hope you recover quickly from it and feel better soon. I would recommend also that when you eat that you do not chew or attempt not to for some time. 1) to allow gums to heal 2) because you'llhave tender pits for a while

I got all of mine pulled at the same time and I could eat almost normally the next day. I'd heard all sorts of nightmare stories and was terrified, it was no problem at all actually and i i'm scared of the dentist to boot! A cousin of mine had hers pulled while she was pregnant so she could have only a local anesthetic (i was pretty much knocked out) and she had a big mac the same day ..LOL though I'm not recommending that!

I was just very careful not to eat anything crunch or sharp as i still had stitches obviously, but i could definately eat soft foods like tuna, egg salad, warm (not hot) soups etc.

Try not to stress too much, i wish i hadn't!

I got all of mine pulled and I ate steak the same night for dinner.

Of course, that's not a professional recommendation--I'd stick to soft foods. Mashed cauliflower, chicken broth, egg salad, scrambled eggs. YUMMY!

Don't freak out about it.

I guess the problems happen when the nerves irritated happen to be those attached to other teeth that still have cavities. I know for a fact if you have a tooth pulled next to a tooth with a cavity that cavity tooth will react to the irritation of the extraction. Hope that isn't the case here.

I had all four taken out at the same time a few years ago also. It wasn't as bad as when I had a back molar pulled last year! I actually believe that I went to work the day after. I don't remember eating anything special other that the day it happened, just chew slowly and make sure to keep your mouth clean. I remember kinda having a bad taste in my mouth for a few days. Good Luck, you'll be fine!!

It's really not that bad. I was able to eat pretty well but I fainted the next day at work...so you might want to take a day to rest!

I'll echo all the "soft food" ideas here. Just wanted to wish you well for this procedure, and hope you soon get back to par.
