After a tooth extraction is it normal to feel no pain unless I eat in that area? How long before I can eat ?!

Lucky you, must be healing fast.. Don't bite anything hard on that side for about a week.. Keep it clean by rinsing with warm salty water..Health Question & Answer

I had all four wisdom teeth pulled the same day and I was eating about 8 hours after the surgery.. The holes would fill up with food but then you rinse well with warm salt water and it cleans them out.. I had no complications at all, except a piece of bone was stuck in the hole but it eventually fell out.. This was about 4 months ago.. Just keep swhishing the salt water around untill it suctions the food out of the hole and you will be good to go! Just eat soft foods, i was eating fettucini alfredo and chocolate cakeHealth Question & Answer
