After a Dental Implant surgery it is normal to wonder about the discomfort that may occur and, it is much more frequent, to want to know what to eat after placing Dental Implants.

After finishing your treatment with Dental Implants, you will be able to enjoy everything that you like the most! The most important thing is to maintain strict food care during the bone and tissue recovery period, and the osseointegration process.

For this we will give you some recommendations on the type of diet and foods to avoid during the first weeks after putting Dental Implants.

It is necessary to take into account these recommendations and those that your implantologist advises you, in order to guarantee the success of Dental Implant surgery, bone and tissue recovery, as well as the osseointegration process (intimate integration between bone and implant).

Eat a bland diet and eat cold foods

The first thing we recommend is to eat a soft diet for at least 15 days. This time varies according to the surgery you have had.

Within the recommended foods, during the first 24 hours you can consume cold liquids such as juices, smoothies, and cold soups. You can also consume ice cream and gelatin.

Cold foods help in the recovery process thanks to the fact that they are vasoconstrictors, this means that help reduce inflammation in the area and bleeding.

After the first 24 hours, start with a soft diet such as pasta, fish, mashed potatoes, among others.

Avoid very hot, spicy and spicy foods

Necessary avoid eating foods that cause irritation in the mouth during the first days after implant surgery. This type of food can cause bleeding, gum irritation, and further inflammation.

Within this group to avoid we can also include the liquor and habits such as tobacco use. Both produce a lot of irritation, in addition to being harmful to health in general. Tobacco can interfere with the healing process, preventing the implant from integrating into the bone.

Avoid hard, crunchy and sticky foods

When you have had Dental Implants it is essential to avoid biting hard food. This type of food can affect the surgery, damage the osseointegration process and cause the implant to be lost.

Hard, crunchy and sticky foods cannot be consumed until recovery time from surgery has passed. Your implantologist will authorize them when he deems it appropriate.

After the recovery process and removing the stitches, other foods may be added to the diet. Everything will depend on your particular process and the criteria of your implantologist.

Remember that it is very important to strictly follow the recommendations to avoid problems with your Dental Implants.
