Hello lybrate user, you can have an icecream or cold milk after 1 hour of extraction. Avoid hot & hard food for 3 days after extraction. Avoid tobacco for atleast a week for proper healing. Hope this information helps you! thanks for choosing lybrate! ask if you need further guidance. Regards.

After 24 hours, rinse with your mouth with a solution made of 1/2 teaspoon salt and 8 ounces of warm water. Do not drink from a straw for the first 24 hours. Do not smoke, which can inhibit healing. An ice pack applied to the area will keep swelling to a minimum. Take pain medications as prescribed. The swelling usually subsides after 48 hours. Drink lots of fluid and eat nutritious soft food on the day of the extraction. You can eat normally as soon as you are comfortable. Eat soft foods, such as soup, pudding, yogurt, or applesauce the day after the extraction.
