What foods do you eat after you have all your teeth pulled out?
By staceycotten from GA
You can eat everything you are eating now. You may have to put some foods through a food processor, even a small one will work just fine.
You can turn almost any soup into a cream soup until your gums toughen up, or you have dentures. Some things are easier to eat without the dentures, so be prepared to experiment until you are happy with the results.
Wishing you the best.

Hello, my daughter is an RDA. She said do not use a straw! The straw can cause any sutures or clots to break and bleed. She also said to eat very soft foods.
Have popsicles ready for when you immediately get your teeth pulled. The cold feels wonderful, and you can reach in and put them right where you need it. However, do not suck them! You can suck out the clot that forms in the tooth's socket, which allows the incision to properly heal. It is extremely painful. Just allow them to melt in your mouth. After a few days, you will feel better and be able to eat much more.
I'm having the last of my teeth pulled so I can get dentures. From my experience this whole list of meals are easy to consume with no teeth:
-imitation crab
-fish
-casseroles
-hamburger helper
-soups
-cottage cheese
-mashed potatoes
-shepherd's pie
-pulled chicken or pork meat
-tuna (and tuna sandwiches)
-shakes
-smoothies
-most canned food
-diced tomatoes and macaroni
-corn
-chili
-pork chops w/mushroom soup in crockpot
-sushi
-sloppy joe's
-pudding
-jello
-bananas
-- and, of course, ensure
The first few days your gums will be sore so you probably will not feel like eating a lot, but you will want to keep your fluids up so plan on drinking extra fluids. When you do get hungry, start out with soft foods like scrambled eggs, oatmeal or grits. Stock up on soups, and it should be easy to eat mashed potatoes, or you can mash up steamed vegetables such as carrots or buttered peas and rice.

I have to have all my teeth pulled to get dentures, weak teeth run in my family. I was wondering what kinds of food will be soft to eat, that don't require any chewing...
