What should I eat on the day of wisdom tooth extraction and on the second day?

On the day of wisdom tooth extraction and on the second day, after the anesthesia wears off, it is recommended to eat lukewarm or cold soft foods on the side opposite the extraction site. On the day of the extraction, after sensation usually returns in 2–3 hours, ① start with liquid foods such as porridge or thin rice gruel, ② avoid hot or spicy foods and hard or crumbly foods, and ③ do not use a straw. Even if you do not feel discomfort, the same precautions may be needed for about one week, and the duration may vary depending on the extent of the surgery and the speed of recovery. However, if bleeding continues or pain or swelling worsens, contact the hospital for an assessment.
