When Is It Fine To Go On A Normal Diet After Extraction Of Wisdom Teeth?
I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth extracted 5 days ago. Today I sneezed pretty hard and I was worried that I could have dislodged the blood clot and created a dry socket! I feel fine and nothing seems to be wrong, I just wanna make sure that I ll be alright. And when would it be fine to start going back to my normal diet of solid foods ? Thanks!

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
Following surgical removal of the wisdom teeth, it takes5-7days for the wound to heal. You can start normal food diet after 3 days of extraction. Nothing to worry the dry socket will not occur after 5days of extraction. It occurs within 3 days of extraction. For first three days you have to take soft diet and not eat hard and spicy food for first 2 days after extraction.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
