What kind of foods can my child eat after their tooth extraction?
Make sure your child drinks plenty of liquids and eats soft, nutritious foods after their tooth extraction. Avoid hot liquids and do not let them use a straw. They can begin eating solid foods the next day or as soon as they can chew comfortably. For the first few days following the procedure, encourage them to chew food on the side opposite the extraction site. When it feels comfortable for them, they can resume chewing on both sides of their mouth.
