Answers:
My dental surgeon encouraged me to eat icecream :) He said it helps coat your stomach (because some of the painkillers can be a bit harsh on the old tummy) plus getting some sugar into you is good. I am still having trouble eating anything solid. He reckons high sugar foods are no problem because you aren't eating much anyway, so best to eat things with lots of energy.

yes you should be fine... soft comfort foods are best..
you wanna take it easy for at lest 2 days after to avoid getting a dry socket so that means:
* no smoking
* no drinking from a straw
* no heavy lifting
* no alcoholic beverages of carbonated beverages (with fizz)
* no vigorous swishing
you want a blood clot to form in the sockets, any of the above can cause negative pressure, disrupting the clot exposing the bone underneath and one its very painful and causes the dry socket.. the you have to go back to the dentist to have medicine put in to the canals..Health Question & Answer

Ice cream is fine. Personally, I would try to eat some healthier foods. I just got a molar pulled on Monday and I've been trying to drink lots of water and drink all-natural fruit smoothies (i.e. Naked juices are excellent and filling...the blueberry one especially!)Health Question & Answer
