No bathing or strenuous exercise. Following cataract surgery (in people as well as dogs) there is no significant discomfort, thus pain medication is not necessary. Additional re-examinations will be scheduled at 1, 2, 4, and 6 weeks after the cataract surgery and additionally as needed.
However, in general, you should eat softer and non-crunchy foods for at least a few days. With wisdom teeth extraction this time period may well exceed five weeks. For teeth extracted more towards the front of the mouth there is less risk of a problem and less restrictions..
A Dr. Jerry P. Gordon, DMD , Dentist, answered. Yes, but I advise my patients not to eat anything too hot, spicy, or crunchy for 24 hours after an extraction. Do not drink through a straw for 24 hours after a tooth has been pulled because it can unseat the clot and make you more susceptible to a dry socket.
