What can i eat after dental surgery? 

Is a common question asked by many patients? Dental surgery can be a daunting task but the recovery can be even more stressful if you don’t know what to eat. Advanced Smiles Dentistry has compiled a list of foods to eat following dental surgery, dental implants or wisdom teeth extractions. These foods are also good for patients having periodontal surgery. Keep in mind that each surgery is different and you should follow your dentist’s post-operative instructions regarding what is acceptable to eat. Some surgeries require a patient to be on a liquid diet for so long and then progress to soft foods. Any of the foods to eat after dental surgery listed below can be liquefied using a blender, healthy drinks or smoothies which can include raw vegetables that are extremely helpful in the healing process.
