Mine were surgically removed, but my Dr did not stitch any of mine up. The reason he didn't stitch mine up is because I am a diabetic and he felt that leaving them unstitched would take longer to heal, but I had a much higher chance of infection if he stitched them. I ended up getting a dry socket tho, so that sucked :[ However, food-wise I ate soup, jello, pudding, yogurt, ice cream, and pasta for the first week or so and then I was able to move on to bigger and better things. It took 4 months tho until I could fully open my mouth again.
