dental interventionsome precautions will have to be observed at lunch. The surgical operations, as a dental implant or an gum graftrequire more care than during the post-operative period, often requiring soft feeding. When we set up a Orthodontics treatmentwe will have to listen to a number of recommendations to avoid Bracket detachment, if fixed paratologyor to avoid color changes or elongation deformations with Invisible orthodontics. After every intervention and depending on what type, your dentist will spend some time explaining what care you have to have, at both hygiene and food level, but there are some general advice that can be useful at all events.
What do we have to eat after a dental intervention?
In the following article we will give you a number of advice that will help you to achieve a healthy diet after your dental specialist's intervention.
Very cold or very hot meals
Teeth are already quite sensitive to foods that are very hot, or especially cold, so after an intervention it's best to try and get temperate foods that are soft temperature to avoid making what's already sensitive by itself even more. Following an extraction or dental surgery, cold foods such as an ice cream should be ingested.
No hot food
Just as at the previous point, hot foods can cause sensitive parts of the mouth to be activated, as well as their own tongue, of course, and so it's always best to avoid all food that may be susceptible to something at least hot.
Avoid hard food
It may sound obvious but it's difficult to chewed correctly after a dental treatment, so we'll always better have foods that require a simple chewing, or better even if we're barely forced to use our teeth. It's important to remember that you should wait for the effect of anesthesia to pass before eating to avoid potential injuries caused by bites that do not cause pain in the anesthetic area. Special attention to the lips in this sense, as they are under the effect of anaesthesia, a tipeling sensation and some tend to bite them. Overall, after a surgical intervention purée, pasta, and even "potitos," are usually a good choice to feed properly during the first few days.
Take some fluids without a straw.
It's important to be hydrated during this period as we will be unable to feed ourselves with the normality that we would like, and that's why drinking water and other beverages, nongaseous, will help make the process much better. It's important, however, that we do not have these drinks with a cane or straw as that can cause our blood damage and thus cause some infection. Giving small drinks when your mouth still has symptoms of anesthesia is a good solution.
No alcohol
It's clear that alcohol with medication and anaesthesia isn't a good combination but also because the effect of its chemical compounds have a very similar function to that referred to with the spicy and so it's something to avoid at all costs. It should be emphasized that alcohol was used (and there are still people using it) to sleep the pain zones while suffering from a dental flap or other pain of teeth, but once an alcohol has been operated, it does a healing effect, though to a low degree through a fermented drink, so it will have a dueling wound.
Take fruit smoothies
If they can be natural, far better but always avoid fruits that have been processed to be as a milkshake, their seeds or remains can interfere with injuries leading to an infection.It's certainly important that at least for the first 48 hours your doctor's guidelines for healing are followed. As a specialist dental clinic we have been able to check firsthand that many of the problems that have arisen after surgery could have been avoided with a good diet.
If you have any questions, ask your dentist after a dental intervention.
