How soon can you eat after having a tooth out?
I'm starving
My info pack just says eat soft food but doesn't say when
Also, this is probably a daft question, but am I allowed to have a lie down or should I remain upright to aid healing?

I would say you can eat when its stopped bleeding, just be careful no food goes into the gap. As for the lie down if its still oozing abit put a towel over the pillow so it doesn't stain. Last time i had a tooth out i ate a chinese curry and rice lol i just ate on the good side.

it's not numb anymore and I don't think it's bleeding as I'm not getting a build of up saliva like I was earlier.Gonna have to eat something cos I'm famished!

As soon as I have feeling back I have something to eat if I need it (which I always do!)
Just be careful that food/drinks aren't too hot. If your mouth is a bit numb then you could burn your mouth.
Hope it will all feel better tomorrow.
