4 Essential Foods You Need When You Get Your Wisdom Teeth Out

In This Article:

Let's be honest, the thought of getting your wisdom teeth out is scary. Practically everyone you know has a horror story about their wisdom teeth surgery. But I'm going to let you in on a secret: the surgery really isn't that bad. What's bad is the fact that you are starving and there is such a limited amount of food that you can eat. Fear not! I have compiled a list of the essential food you must have while you are recovering.

1. Popsicles

Legit these are the only thing you'll be able to eat for a day and a half. Make sure there is plenty of variety in your popsicles because you will get sick of them FAST.

IMPORTANT NOTE: it will be impossible to eat ice cream so make sure you understand the difference between ice cream and popsicles. You will not be able to fit a spoon in your mouth to eat ice cream, and if you do? Ice cream will spill out of your mouth and onto your chin.

2. Soup

Again, you will want a variety of soup. Also, don't try to eat this with a spoon. Like the ice cream example, the soup will spill out of your mouth and onto your chin. I recommend putting your soup into a coffee mug instead of a bowl and sipping it like its coffee.

3. Mashed potatoes

You won't be able to enjoy this until maybe your second day. But boy, its worth the wait.

4. Rice

You most likely will have to wait until your second or third day for rice. You won't be able to chew it but you'll be able to suck on it until its mushy enough to swallow. Listen, it sounds gross but you need food with substance, your body won't be able to live on popsicles alone.


PRO TIP: I got fried rice and egg drop soup from my favorite Chinese food restaurant 2 days in a row, if you like Chinese food go for this pairing.

5. Drink all the water

Avoid the straw!!! But keep yourself hydrated. Your pain pills will be extremely hard to swallow if you don't have enough fluids in you. Trust me, I threw up my pills twice, and that was PAINFUL.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
