Does a high calorie diet help wounds heal faster? What foods have the most calories?

I’ve had my wisdom teeth extracted, and I heard that consuming at leas 3,000 calories a day will help the incisions heal faster. Is this true, or will it just make me fat?

What foods can I eat that are highest in calories? Please include foods that are liquid or soft, since I can’t eat solid food for a few days.

no, a good "Diet" is important;; WHAT you eat, not how much;; if you were in good health before your tooth was extracted, just don’t change anything you do;; trust me, I’ve had patients consume mega calcium & vit C to help them "heal faster"…it doesn’t do a thing!!!! just do what you were doing before, be more careful about what you are chewing on that side & you will heal fine…make sure you clean every time you eat…
& btw, certain soft foods get easily stuck in that area, follow the doc’s suggestions;; I’m SURE they wrote this down, or gave you a list…

    vitamin C and nutrients are probably a better bet, along with rest, but I bet some extra calories wouldn’t hurt, just don’t go overboard.
