    I had this done when I was younger. It wasn't too bad. Ice cream is nice, with jelly. they give you that if you get it done in hospital. Milkshakes too. Anything cool and soft. Avocados, tinned fruit like pears or peaches. Soft bread and butter.

    Get some straws. :) my jaw ached a bit for a couple of days.

    I liked sparkling water too.

    Oh, and vaseline for dry lips.

    Generally speaking, colder, soft and high energy foods that are easy on the stomach.....

    For day one;
    Soft, cold food with lots of energy are good. Ice cream, yogurt, jelly.

    7 up (not diet) is good to keep your energy up.

    Next few days;
    For proper meals, soup (allow to cool) with soft bread, not crusty rolls
    Pasta meals, allow to cool
    mash potato, allow to cool

    Good luck,
    OS

    Thought this would be a good place to ask. I have two vertically impacted wisdom teetg, i think its called and I wanted to ask if its going to be under general anaestetic or would a dentist take them out themselves? Very worried girl here! I'm getting orthodontics so i need to get them out.. Slightly panicing now!
