OCR Text: Yes — they can have something more substantial than soup this evening, provided it’s soft, cool or lukewarm, and doesn’t require much chewing. NHS guidance recommends a soft diet after extraction and avoiding hot food/drinks, particularly on the day of the procedure. NHS England +1 Good filling options tonight would be mashed potato with soft scrambled eggs, very soft macaroni cheese or pasta, mashed potato with gravy, yoghurt, custard, porridge that has cooled down, cottage cheese, or something like mashed banana. Scrambled eggs + mash would probably be my choice if they’re genuinely hungry: it gives them protein and carbohydrates without much chewing. NHS Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Trust +1 For tonight, avoid crisps, toast/crusty bread, nuts, rice or seeds, chewy meat, spicy food, and anything piping hot. Also don’t use a straw, vigorously rinse the mouth, spit repeatedly, or poke the sockets with the tongue, because the important thing is keeping the blood clots undisturbed. UCLH +1

OCR Text: What's an acceptable meal to eat the evening after having two teeth extracted in the afternoon? The patient has had a bowl of soup but is still hungry. Soft, cool-to-lukewarm foods that need no chewing near the extraction sites work best that evening. Good options: • Mashed potatoes (cooled, gravy optional) • Yogurt or pudding • Scrambled eggs (soft, cooled) • Smoothie (no straw — sucking can dislodge the clot; drink from a cup or eat with a spoon) • Applesauce • Mac and cheese, well-cooked and soft • Oatmeal, lukewarm
