Having had this procedure myself, start with soups, or very soft foods. Avoid crunchy, or chewy foods, even if chewed with your front teeth, you could get pieces lodged in the holes, or even tear stitches (if you got them), not to mention the pain if a piece of hard food gets stuck in them!

No. Unless you have a tongue piercing.
Yes and no. Adults generally have 28 permanent teeth excluding the wisdom teeth. Most adults will not develop all 4 wisdom teeth, which would bring the count to 32, had they. However, the amount of teeth can change during adulthood depending on tooth extractions, wisdom teeth, or malformed teeth.
Not necessarily. Teeth tend to become more crowed as we age, especially the lower front teeth. This happens in some people regardless of whether they have wisdom teeth or not. Therefore, removing the wisdom teeth, solely for the purpose of hoping to get naturally straighter teeth, won't work.
can you dye your hair after teeth extractions
to eat
The second day after a wisdom tooth extraction, the wounds are still healing. Drinking alcohol is not recommended until the mouth has completely healed from the wisdom teeth extractions.
Yes, I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed 2 weeks ago while wearing braces.
It depends on who you ask. The literature on dry sockets after wisdom teeth extractions reports a range from 5-20% dry socket occurence. Most experienced oral surgeons will see fewer than 10% dry socket rate after wisdom teeth extractions. The biggest determining factor to risk is experience of the surgeon. Which means that newbies will have more dry sockets than seasoned surgeons.
You can eat after having your wisdom teeth removed, but you should eat food that aren't crunchy, such as mashed potatoes, pudding, and milkshakes.
Yep. Try to avoid excessive heat immediately after extractions as it may make the extraction site bleed more.
