Need recipes for wisdom teeth removal!

[Guest guest]

Your blender will be your best friend!...

Here are some things I had when I had mine removed (everything in the blender

and drunk with a large straw).

 

- fruits and yogurt, and you can add some cottage cheese for added protein

(it's got 3 times more than yogurt).

- nut smoothies: soak any or all of the following overnight: almonds, cashews,

sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, drain and throw in the blender with enough fresh

water so it's not too thick, sweeten with soaked dates, prunes, or figs and

blend until smooth. Try different combinations so you don't get tired of the

taste. If this doesn't fill you up...

- all kinds of creams of vegetables. Just cook any tasty vegetable (brocoli,

spinach or carrots work well) with potatoes, onion or leek, and herbs in just

enough water or vegetable broth to cover, and throw in the blender. You can

add some dairy (milk or yogurt) if you like, to make it more creamy and

nourishing.

 

That's mainly what I survived on for about 4 days, I think.

 

I had my wisdom teeth removed when I was pregnant, so I didn't want to take any

pain killers, and frankly it wasn't that bad. After the " event " , when I

started feeling the pain, I just went home and took a long nap. A few hours

later, it wasn't so painful anymore. Just like a medium headache. I took it

easy that night and the day after the pain was gone. I just had to be careful

not to get food in the little holes. Mainly, I did as little as I could (just

very softly rinsing, but not too often), and it healed very fast, with no

complications whatsoever.

 

My husband took painkillers, and it wouldn't stop bleeding, he had to go to the

hospital. I think the pain killers make your blood thiner, so it's not too

good.

 

Anyway, hope this helps. Good luck!

I am getting my wisdom teeth removed on tuesday but I want to make sure that

I still eat enough good food. So if anyone could give me any good recipes

for pureed or mushy stuff, i would really appreciate it! Also, if anyone

knows natural/alternative ways to help my gums heal faster or ease the pain,

let me know!

Thanks,

Karen- Great ideas! I had my wisdom teeth pulled about a year ago and

literally LIVED on Miso Soup! It's very nutritious, doesn't involve much

chewing *hehe*, and is SUCH a comforting food! =)

Hi, Liz!

My son (now 16, almost 17) had his wisdom teeth removed about three

years ago, so I'll tell you what he ate. He didn't really feel like eating

much the first day, so he just drank various liquids. I got him a variety

of juices. The next day he was up to eating broths, soups, pudding, and

vegetarian gelatin. At first, he only wanted soups with no pieces of

anything -- tomato soup, Knorr Spring Vegetable (it just has tiny pieces),

things like that. If you're vegan, you can make pudding from " Tofu Mate " .

They have a variety of flavors and you use silken tofu, blend it all up,

and refrigerate it a little while. After a couple of days, he felt like

eating chunkier soups like lentil, vegetable, etc. as well as soft foods

like mashed potatoes.

If you're not familiar with the vegetarian gelatin -- there are two

kinds that I know of-- Emes and Hain. Emes is a kosher vegetarian gelatin,

and they only places I have found it around here (Atlanta) are the Seventh

Day Adventist store and a kosher grocery store. You should be able to find

the Hain at a health food store. They call it " SuperFruits " and it should

be in the section by the puddings and stuff. It comes in an envelope type

package in various flavors.

I'll look and see if I can find any recipes, but I think you'll do just

fine with the above.

If it makes you feel any better, he was never in a lot of pain, but he

was really " out of it " the first day because of the general anesthesia.

Good luck!

 

Karen
