Dental implants may be dreaded but not when you have a team of expert dentists like the ones at Altamash Clinics in Karachi handling your oral health. Here is what the Altamash team of best dentists recommends for those who have undergone dental implants:
What you should eat right after a dental implant:
You should limit your diet to soft foods or watery meals that don't require much chewing, especially during the first few days following the surgery. Such a diet prevents you from accidentally biting your tongue due to the lasting numbness from the surgery.
We advise consuming smoothies, yogurt, ice cream, pudding, applesauce, mashed potatoes, creamy soups and broth, and other similar soft/liquid meals for a few days right after the implant.
You may then start consuming meals that require a little bit of chewing like macaroni and cheese, pancakes, rice, soft bread, cooked vegetables, eggs, and spaghetti.
You might be able to begin consuming tough and chewy foods after 1-2 weeks, such as meat and fibrous raw vegetables. However, how quickly you recover will determine this. For at least two weeks, you should refrain from chewing on the side of your mouth where the implant is.
How can I recover fast from dental implant surgery?
Do you want to ensure that you recover quickly from your implant? Although everyone heals at a different pace, the broad principles listed below can help you heal more quickly.
Don't skip meals - You might wish to skip meals during the first several days when you might have severe discomfort or nausea. However, consistent eating and getting enough food and energy each day is important for maintaining health and strength.
Stay hydrated- Drinking plenty of water helps the body stay healthy.
Don't exercise for a few days - For at least two to three days, we advise not exercising or engaging in the strenuous activity of any kind, such as moving heavy objects. This will ensure that bleeding and discomfort are reduced.
Maintain your oral hygiene- Rinse your mouth with salt water in the morning, after each meal, and at night starting 24 hours after your surgery.
