I've never heard that one before - if you google, most recommendations are that yoghurt is easy to eat if your gum is sore.
I have not heard of that , avoid asprin and its' related products and food / drink either too hot or cold. I hope you recover quickly .

thats what she said.... im petrified of getting dry socket so have only had a tin of soup all day and yesterday only had a slice of toast all day before i had it out, feel like my stomach thinks my throat been cut lol... feel a bit worse for wear as though ive been punched.... unsure as to what foods to eat, was gonna have a pot of abrosia custard but dont know if i should if she said not to eat any dairy or drink milk
Well I would. I've googled and I can't see any reason why you can't take milt products. How long did she suggest you leave eating them?
I would have thought that yoghurt would be high up in the foods to eat, after having a tooth out - I've had loads of teeth out in the past 18 months and the dentist only ever told me not to have anything hot for a few hours - nothing about no dairy etc.
I can think of absolutely no reason why you cannot consume dairly products after an extraction.

Best way of avoiding a dry socket it not to smoke and not too rinse your mouth to vigourously.
