Be brave and don't try to avoid the extraction, it'll just get infected again!! Ice cream and Popsicles are good IF the cold doesn't irritate them.most people find cold numbing. Warm, not hot cream soups, cottage cheese with canned peaches and yogurt are good. NO seeds like berries, tomatoes, sesame etc or nuts cause they can get stuck in between the stitches or in the hole and cause infections. Cold might feel soothing but avoid hot. Rince your mouth with salt water after everything you eat, before bed and in the morning or use a rinse they recommend. You should only feel yucky for a day or two if they aren't impacted/jammed in or have nasty long roots. If the procedure requires putting you out expect three to five days of feeling yucky. And don't go anywhere looks count. If you bruise easily, you could look pretty scary! At most should be gone in a week.

Mine wasn't bad at all but it was small and no long roots. Only took 5 minutes!! It was over before I realized all the freezing was in. For me it was like childbirth - no not the pain... Hearing from people what to expect! It wasn't nearly was bad as I expected bc everyone only tells you the horror stories!!

Hope all goes well

So sorry to hear about your dental dilemma. I had my wisdom teeth out in high school and I lived on milkshakes made with Carnation Instant Breakfast (protein/vitamins) till I could finally chew again. I hope all goes well - let me know if I can help with the boys or anything.
