Update Tooth Extraction

[honey33]

well ive had my tooth out... came out easyish and been given another course of antibiotics for the infection... not any experience i would want again in a hurry but its over with now

she said something about to NOT drink milk or eat any youghurts or dairy?... why is this? and how long not for?

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

[boxtops]

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?

[islasmum]

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.
