In fact, after tooth extraction, warm and cool liquid food and semi-liquid food are the main methods. Patients should not eat hot or hard food. Generally, there are rice soup, steamed egg soup, milk, fresh fruit juice, all kinds of porridge, soft steamed food and fruit and vegetable soup, as well as soybean milk and tofu. Patients should try to choose thin and soft food and remember to chew with healthy teeth for a while.
Patients can also stew some cool and nourishing soup, because these foods can stop bleeding. Like Lycium barbarum leaf lean broth, rock sugar tremella lotus root soup, melon meatball soup are all very good. And you can eat coarse grains, such as stewed ribs with red beans, glutinous rice porridge. But don't drink fish soup or chicken soup, because drinking it will easily cause swelling of the affected area.
Generally, after tooth extraction, you should press the wound with a cotton swab for half an hour, don't gargle, and it is best not to brush your teeth at night. You can drink nourishing soup a few hours after tooth extraction. And it's best to keep a light diet. Some fish soup, such as crucian carp soup, is hair, which is not conducive to the improvement of the disease. It is best not to drink it. Chicken soup is also a warm food, which is easy to cause excessive internal heat and increase the chance of infection, so it should be avoided. Don't drink too hot soup because the wound hasn't fully recovered after tooth extraction.
Generally, don't eat fruit after tooth extraction, because many fruits are hard and will hurt the affected area. Patients can drink fruit juice, because fruit juice is rich in vitamin C, which is very helpful for wound repair after tooth extraction. But don't drink cold juice, because cold juice will stimulate gums, which is not conducive to gum recovery. It is best for patients to choose soft and delicious foods, such as rice porridge and pasta.
And don't eat spicy food after tooth extraction, such as fermented yogurt, so as not to stimulate the affected area. After two days, normal diet can be restored, and after one week, the affected side can slowly restore chewing function. At the same time, we should also pay attention to maintaining a balanced nutrition and not to be partial to food. The wound of tooth extraction will generally recover itself through the changes of its own tissue, so don't bite too hard with the affected side within one week after tooth extraction, so as not to affect the recovery of the wound. If you have redness, swelling and pain, you should seek medical advice promptly. As long as you persist, you can let the patient recover a beautiful and healthy tooth as soon as possible.
