00:16face it, eating can be a bit tricky when your mouth's on the mend. Stick around, and let's
00:21make this healing process just a bit tastier and way easier.
00:25Look, we get it. After wisdom teeth removal, you're tired, maybe a bit swollen, and definitely
00:32in no mood to struggle with food. One wrong bite, and you're wincing in pain. You might
00:37be feeling frustrated about what to eat, and constantly wondering, will I get enough nutrients?

00:49removal doesn't have to be miserable. With the right foods, you can avoid pain, inflammation,
00:55and discomfort. Plus, you'll keep your body fueled and help the healing process along.
01:01So let's dive in, and I'll share exactly what foods are gentle, nutritious, and tasty.
01:071. Smoothies First up, smoothies. They're probably going
01:11to be your best friend for a while, and here's why. Smoothies are smooth obviously, easy to
01:17swallow, and can pack a ton of nutrition in one glass. You can toss in some bananas for potassium,
01:24berries for antioxidants, greek yogurt for protein, and even a scoop of protein powder if
01:29you need an extra boost. Just be sure to avoid using a straw. It can lead to something called a
01:35dry socket, which is definitely something you want to avoid.
01:392. Mashed Potatoes Mashed potatoes are another lifesaver here.
01:44They're soft, filling, and a great source of carbs, which help keep your energy up. Plus,
01:50you can make them super creamy so there's no strain on your mouth at all.
01:55Just make sure they're not too hot, as that can irritate the healing areas.
01:59You can even add a little bit of cheese or a soft veggie puree for some extra flavor.
02:043. Applesauce Applesauce is another great choice.
02:09It's naturally sweet, which can be comforting, and it provides a good dose of vitamin C to
02:14help with healing. You'll want to opt for the unsweetened version to avoid any added sugar
02:19that could irritate your gums. And it's super gentle on the mouth, making it perfect for those
02:25first few days when you're feeling tender. 4. Greek Yogurt

02:35Greek yogurt also has probiotics that can help support your immune system,
02:39especially important if you're on antibiotics after your surgery.
02:44Stick to plain or lightly flavored varieties, and avoid any that have crunchy toppings or
02:49fruit chunks. Greek yogurt is easy to swallow, tastes amazing, and can be a refreshing treat
02:55when you're feeling down. 5. Broth-Based Soups
02:59Now, broth-based soups are fantastic for two reasons. First, they're hydrating, which is
03:05crucial for healing, and second, they're a great way to sneak in some extra nutrients.

03:20Just make sure the soup is warm, not hot, before you dig in.
03:256. Oatmeal Once you're a few days into recovery,
03:29oatmeal can be a great option. It's soft, filling, and has fiber that will keep your digestion in
03:35check while you're on softer foods. Make sure to cook it well so it's smooth,
03:40and you can add a little bit of honey or mashed banana for sweetness.
03:44It's gentle on the mouth and still provides good energy for the day.

04:08making them perfect for recovery. Season them lightly with salt and
04:12maybe a pinch of pepper, and you've got a delicious, mouth-friendly meal.

04:399. Soft Pasta Soft pasta can be a comforting option as
04:43long as it's cooked well. Go for smaller pasta shapes like macaroni, and make sure to cook it
04:49until it's super tender. A light tomato or creamy sauce can make it taste great without
