I had 3 top teeth pulled 2 days ago. Is it safe to eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches made on safe bread?

I would cut it in small pieces first
My dentist and my husband's oral surgeon always give very specific directions on what to and not to eat and how many days post surgery.
To be safe, if your dental person didn't tell you, I strongly recommend to call the office back and ask.
Some foods can pull on stitches or get lodged and that can cause infection and gum damage. Safety first with stuff like this. Dental infections are HORRIBLE...so you want to follow their directions to a T.
Good luck! Hope you heal quickly!
i would avoid foods that are in essence very sticky and sugary that can get lodged and cause disease and peanut butter and jam on whatever bread sounds like it to me
also you should not smoke for at least a month, if that's your thing
My friend just went through similar dental surgery and he was instructed to eat only soft (soup-like food) for 2 weeks (when he returns for a check-up).
This may not be to your liking but it is important that you eat nothing that may cause a problem later on as good care right now will mean a lot when you finally get your new teeth.
Personally I would avoid peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Probably would just eat bread by itself (un-toasted) especially if you had 3 top teeth pulled.
Perhaps smoothie, yogurt or soup. You should follow up with your surgeon or dentist in regards what to eat/not eat, or their recommendations.
Peanut butter and jelly is chewy, sticky - would require flossing and brushing throughly.
Pb&J is on my list of APPROVED foods to eat.
When I had 8 pulled in one day, I was hungry but knew I couldn't eat for a few days. I invented "Instant Potato Soup". I took the packaged Idahoan and made it with 3 cups of water instead of 2. It's going to solidify on your stomach later but it goes down with something warm and satisfying.
I've worked in dental for 12 years. No smoking for at least 24 hours after your extractions. No using a straw for 48-72 hours, as sucked can release the blood clot and trust me, you've never felt true pain until you've experienced a dry socket! Eat soft foods like mashed taters, yogurts, and creamy soups for at least 24 hours. You don't want to chew anything on the extraction site(s) until the clot has formed and the healing process begins. Basically, you know when you can eat more solid foods.
