Anyone who has been through the pleasure of surgical extraction (of wisdom teeth, usually), knows that it involves a few days of swelling in the face and settling for only liquid or soft food.
But on the social network Tiktok, a trend has recently been circulating that states that drinking pineapple juice before extraction can prevent or at least greatly reduce the swelling after extraction of wisdom teeth.
Trends and health tips on social media is a very common thing, but one that also has truth - it is already new.
The tip came to light following tiktokers who uploaded videos of themselves swallowing huge bottles of pineapple juice (about two liters) the night before the extraction of their wisdom teeth, and then they also uploaded their photos after the extraction - to show that it really helped.

In selfies taken after the displacement, the people usually look swollen and also have a gauze pad inside the cheeks, but in update videos they uploaded over the next few days after the surgical displacement and sometimes even a few hours after it - their face seems to have really recovered and no abnormal swelling.
Unlike other trends in Tiktok, this tip has scientific backing. "Pineapple contains an enzyme called bromelain that has natural properties that fight inflammation, and is the one responsible for reducing or preventing the swelling that is typical of recovery from surgical tooth extractions," Dr. William Graves, a dentist who specializes in oral surgery, confirmed in an interview with Insider. Swelling and discomfort after any invasive procedure, including displacement.
One of the videos uploaded to the network shows a young surfer named Mackenzie Foreman (who uses the nickname @ mack_attack323) the night before her displacement a bit skeptical: It will be considered a success. "
She then drinks a whole carton of natural pineapple juice and later updated that the trick was "100% success".
Although immediately after the displacement her face was quite swollen, the swelling went down within two days and she testified that on a scale of 1-10 the level of pain she experienced was 1. Not bad.

"Just a friendly reminder: Pineapple is a very acidic fruit and contains a lot of sugar. Therefore, I recommend rinsing your mouth with water after eating," Dr. Graves stressed. Sweet drinks can greatly damage tooth enamel, so if you drink pineapple juice, do not wash Your brushing routine that evening Also, wait at least 30 minutes between drinking the acidic juice and brushing your teeth - as should be done in any case of consuming acidic foods or beverages of any kind.
In addition, you should know that pineapple can be problematic for a sensitive stomach, because it is both acidic and one of the allergenic fruits, so there are also those who are specifically sensitive to it.
If you are going to try this tip, you should first check with your dentist if you have received any special instructions regarding eating and drinking before the displacement.
Surfer @ mack_attack323, for example, said she drank the juice at 8 the night before the displacement, because from midnight she had to avoid eating and drinking.
Usually, the instruction is not to eat or drink anything in the 8 hours before surgery, in order to reduce the risk of complications.
