My son just had his out on Monday. He went for a checkup today, and got his stitches out.
He ate mostly soup, and yogurt the first few days. He had spaghetti last night, and a sub today. He says he's ready for a pizza now. Leaves to go back to school on Sunday.
The best advice that he was given ..... get a bag of frozen corn. Hold it against your jaw for 15 minutes, then do the other side. It helps to keep the swelling down. Throw it back in the freezer for later. It won't melt, and run all over you like ice will. It conforms to your mouth well, and you can cook it, and eat it when your mouth heals.
You'll be back to normal before you know it.
