Can you eat food on the same day you get your wisdom teeth out after the extraction process or do you have to wait 24 hrs?

You can eat as soon as the bleeding stops, but be very careful not to create any suction of any kind and try to keep all liquids off the area for 24 hours. In that 24 hours, you are not supposed to do anything that requires sucking like drinking through a straw or smoking. If you must smoke, tear off the filter and lightly puff. Trust me when I say you want to avoid, AT ALL COSTS, the excrutiating pain of Dry Socket! Dry Socket can make the pain last for days and even a couple weeks. I cheated my first time and ate soup with the gauze still clenched in my teeth. Just be sure not to swallow the gauze. ;-(

When can I eat solid foods again I had my wisdom teeth removed about 6 or 7 days ago. I'm feeling perfectly fine. And the only pain I feel is a little soreness.?
You can eat solid foods just a few days after wisdom teeth extraction. 6 days is enough time for the initial healing process. Food might get stuck in the holes where your wisdom teeth were, but you can rinse with water and salt to help clean them.

What is the purpose of wisdom teeth?
Anthropologists believe wisdom teeth, or the third set of molars, were the evolutionary answer to our ancestor's early diet of coarse, rough food - like leaves, roots, nuts and meats - which required more chewing power and resulted in excessive wear of the teeth. The modern diet with its softer foods, along with marvels of modern technologies such as forks, spoons and knives, has made the need for wisdom teeth nonexistent. As a result, evolutionary biologists now classify wisdom teeth as vestigial organs, or body parts that have become functionless due to evolution. Because human jaws have become smaller throughout evolutionary history, when wisdom teeth form they often become impacted, or blocked, by the other teeth around them. Also, if the tooth partially erupts, food can get trapped in the gum tissue surrounding it, which can lead to bacteria growth and, possibly, a serious infection.
What are teeth used in the digestion?
