[Closed] Surviving gum surgery: ice packs are my new best friend
Vanilla ice cream was definitely a lifesaver for me too, but I also found chilled applesauce surprisingly soothing. It's gentle, affordable, and gives you a bit of variety when you're tired of potatoes. Instant mashed potatoes are great comfort food, but sometimes the texture got a little monotonous for me...so applesauce was my backup. Hope your recovery goes smoothly - gum surgery isn't fun, but you're doing all the right things to stay comfortable.
