YES if it feels comfortable. If you have problems see the News and Events section on here there is a list of what is easy to eat after extraction and what isn't. If you find anything new please add to the list.

I know you had one out at each side making it a bit harder, but if it feels tender when you eat just be careful. You should be fine now though, but it is still early days.

Hope this helps, I think you have done really so well so far. Stay well.

Paul I had my tooth out tuesday and I've been eating solid foods since a couple of days, well I say solid.. bread, beans, bananas, sheperds pie, toad in the hole, so solid but soft, keeping to eating on the opposite side of my mouth though obviously till its more healed.

Also not to hijack the thread but I have a similar question so I thought it be better to ask here than start a new one..

How long after an extraction can you use normal mouthwash?

I had my tooth out 3rd and its the 8th now, everything seems to be healing nicely but I don't want to aggravate it.

At the moment I'm just brushing then rinsing out with salt water, i miss the burning minty taste of my mouthwash that really makes my mouth feel clean though.

Hi Darren i have been using mouth wash since day 2 its the first 24 hours you are not allowed to rinse your mouth out for you should be fine. and with a reply to your question i have had 2 botten teeth out one on the left one on the right so i am eating with my front teeth but i guess if i keep solid food on my front teeth then it should be fine providing i do a salt water rinse after i think i am on day 6 or 7 now.
