Wisdom teeth, having them out?

Upper tooth.

I'm a bit shocked tbh that the soft food diet goes on this long.

I got one upper tooth pulled a few years ago and it was nbd, went very quickly, I never took the vicodin and I think I just had to eat carefully and avoid straws for a few days. But it had already come part of the way in so it was easy for them to pull. I think it really depends on where the tooth is.

I had all four taken out a week ago, and it was a lot less of an ordeal than I imagined. (Well, one was simply chopped off at the top, since the root was too near a nerve.) I’d heard all sorts of my horror stories from my family but they had it done at least a decade ago; apparently, dental tech has progressed enough it’s not such a big a deal, even if the orthodontist kept commenting how the risks were greater for someone near 40 like me. I went under for the procedure and while there has definitely been some ache and soreness, there’s been little real pain. Definitely not necessary to take a week off like I’d read. I barely touched the hydrocodone, mostly stuck with the heavy ibuprofen. I’m paranoid enough that I too am sticking with a soft or liquid diet longer than probably necessary. If anything, it’s been rougher not having caffeine or grass for a week...

I had a lower one out a few years ago, don't remember much about pain but the hole developed some kind of weird suction power, and for a while afterwards would suck in strands of spaghetti that I'd have to wrestle out again with my fingers. Not great in restaurants. Watch out for stray grains of rice too.
