You may eat on the other side as long as you are no longer numbed
As long as the food is soft you should be good eating it after 1-2 days Just keep the extraction area clean with warm salt water rinses .
The first 2 weeks just baby that area like no hard brushing and no touching the area with your tongue though .
Hope that helps
