RE: Curious about recovery time after tooth extraction and implants
Totally relate to this... I remember feeling wiped out for days after my extraction. Resting up really does help, and ice cream was a lifesaver. Sounds like she's right on track!
RE: tips for healing after mouth biopsy?
Totally agree on the lukewarm soups - creamy potato was my go-to as well. I also found smoothies pretty helpful, especially banana or avocado-based ones, since they're filling without being harsh. Weirdly enough, herbal ...

RE: Getting ready for oral surgery - my game plan
Totally agree about the lukewarm broth thing - I did the same after my surgery and it was honestly a lifesaver. Cold stuff got old real fast, and the warmth was comforting without causing irritation. About eggs though, I...
