How do I prevent dry socket after tooth extraction?
Dry socket is a common complication that can occur when the blood clot at the site of an extraction is dislodged. To prevent dry socket, avoid sucking motions (like through a straw), spitting, or rinsing your mouth vigorously for the first 24 hours. Additionally, avoid smoking and consuming alcohol, as these can inhibit healing. Stick to soft foods and maintain gentle oral hygiene by brushing your teeth carefully, avoiding the extraction site.

What can I eat after tooth extraction?
After a tooth extraction, it’s important to stick to soft, easy-to-chew foods to prevent irritation of the extraction site. Examples include:
- Yogurt
- Applesauce
- Smoothies (without using a straw)
- Soups (lukewarm to avoid burning)
- Mashed potatoes
Gradually reintroduce more solid foods into your diet as healing progresses over the following days.
