Hygienists Guide: Eating Popcorn After Wisdom Teeth Removal Avoid popcorn for 7-14 days post wisdom tooth removal to allow proper healing and minimize the risk of complications like dry socket and infection. Popcorn can disrupt healing by lodging in extraction sites. Individual medical history, age, and health conditions can affect healing times. Prioritizing healing in the first week will set you up for success and allow you to heal much faster.
