After wisdom teeth removal, you can generally start eating soft solid foods about 5 to 7 days after the surgery. Examples of soft solid foods include soft rice, tender pasta, cooked vegetables, scrambled eggs, and oatmeal. Around two weeks or more, if healing is going well and your dentist approves, you can gradually introduce more solid foods while chewing carefully on the opposite side of your mouth. Full recovery and return to normal eating often takes about 3 to 4 weeks. It is important to avoid hard, crunchy, or sticky foods during the initial healing period to prevent irritation or complications.
