Why ramen is a good food to help you through your recovery
Ramen noodles are certainly not the most nutritious option for your post-wisdom teeth removal recovery, but they do provide a lot of advantages as long as you follow the instructions we laid out in the previous section and don’t make them too hot or too chewy.
How to eat ramen noodles after wisdom teeth removal
A lot of dentists recommend having soup take up the majority of your diet for the first few days after getting your wisdom teeth removed, which is why ramen noodles work great as post-procedure food.
It can be a little dicey, though, because most dentists also recommend that you avoid foods that are too hot for the first few days, so once you’ve made the ramen, you’ll need to let it sit and cool for a little while before eating it.
Another thing you’ll need to think about when preparing ramen noodles for either yourself or someone else after undergoing wisdom teeth removal is that the noodles need to be pretty soft.
Any kind of pasta that you eat for the first little bit after the procedure should be well cooked and not al dente, including ramen.
Other than those two things, however, you should be safe to eat ramen noodles.
Make sure to check with your dentist and ask for their recommendations about foods to eat, however, so that you can be certain a particular food is safe.
Can I Eat Ramen Noodles After Tooth Extraction?
Yes, you can eat ramen noodles alongside a broth after tooth extraction, but it should not be hot and spicy, or it will hurt your extraction site.
Just let it cool down, and then you can enjoy a tasteful ramen noodle meal after your tooth removal!
