Hello Trice

I had my upper right wisdom tooth out three weeks ago.  I was petrified of getting a dry socket.  Resisted the urge to poke it with my tongue and ate very soft foods. 

I found the following foods easy to eat, soup with bread dunked in to soften the bread, scrambled egg, mashed potato, yoghurt, trifle and custard.  I know it is not a well balanced diet but you won't be hungry.

I hope you feel better soon.

Best wishes

Can i eat things like Rice as well.? i need something that will fill me up lol

I kept away from rice as I didn't have any stitches and was worried about rice getting stuck in the hole.  Maybe thick creamy rice pudding might be OK.
