Can you eat chicken after tooth extraction?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Guo Huijie
After tooth extraction, patients can usually consume chicken in moderation after a certain period. As a high-quality source of protein, chicken helps promote wound healing and physical recovery. However, during the initial recovery phase, it is advisable to choose tender, soft, and easily chewable chicken, and avoid chewing with the side where the tooth was extracted to prevent irritation or infection of the wound. Additionally, follow your doctor's dietary recommendations, avoid spicy or irritating foods, and ensure healthy oral recovery after the extraction.
