Can you eat chicken after tooth extraction?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Guo Huijie
In the early stages after tooth extraction, as the wound has not yet stabilized, it is recommended to avoid eating overly hard chicken meat to prevent irritation or bleeding. Once the wound begins to heal and there is no noticeable discomfort, you may consume small amounts of tender, well-cooked chicken to support nutritional needs. Please note that for a period following the extraction, you should avoid chewing food with the area where the tooth was removed to promote proper healing. If you have any concerns, consult your dentist.
