Holiday food guide for after your wisdom teeth surgeryHaving your wisdom teeth removed during the holidays might be upsetting — especially when thinking about all the food you’re going to miss out on. Luckily for you, there’s still hope! Fortunately, there are plenty of options that are not only delicious, but post-removal friendly!

Below is a handy post-wisdom teeth removal food guide to help you through the holiday season!

Blended soups: With the colder weather, hearty soups can not only be filling, but also easy to eat post wisdom teeth removal. Blended soups made of pumpkin or tomato will give you that festive feeling you’re looking for, while also fueling your body with vitamins like A, C and E! This will give you the nutrition your body needs, that solid foods can normally supply. Just be sure that the soups are easy to eat and don’t contain bits that could irritate or infect the area of surgery!

Salmon: Salmon is an excellent choice after your wisdom teeth removal because it’s soft and easy to chew texture. This makes an excellent main dish as it’s a great source of protein! Also rich in omega-fatty acids, Salmon may even help in the healing process by reducing inflammation!

Mashed potatoes: A holiday dinner staple! Mashed potatoes are not only a great and festive comfort food, but they’re rich in calories and will give you the energy you need while you are recovering. The great things about potatoes is that they can be prepared in a variety of different ways, are easy to eat and post-surgery friendly!

Hummus: Hummus is an excellent source of healthy fats and makes a perfect soft side dish that has plenty of protein. Plus, it’s so tasty!

Soft desserts: What are the holidays without lots of desserts? There are plenty of post-removal friendly desserts that will be sure to still give you a warm and fuzzy feeling! Puddings are a delightful treat, as the soft texture is easy to eat and won’t irritate wounds. Soft cakes and pies are fine too, just make sure to avoid the hard crust!
