The first day(s) after the extraction of a tooth, you might be able to sustain yourself only with liquids. Aim at non-sugary drinks such as unsweetened almond or soy milk, regular milk, plain yogurt thinned with water and homogenized well.
Once you feel you can transition to soft food, here are a few ideas:
- oatmeal with a spoonful of each: peanut butter, fruit preserves and mashed banana
- cream of wheat with a spoonful of hummus, mashed sweet potato and diced boiled egg
- corn meal with a spoonful of mashed avocado.
- oatmeal with a thinly diced soft peach or apricot and sweetened with a mashed banana.
- cooked egg whites with hummus or a mashed avocado
- blended soups
- cottage cheese
- plain yogurt with a spoonful of fruit preserves or plain yogurt with a drop of vanilla essence, mashed banana and a sprinkle of flaxseed
- mashed potatoes
- tofu pieces prepared on the stove top with some salt
- tuna fish with mayo
- dessert: ice cream, blended soft fruit, microwaved apple slices, applesauce
