Eating After Dental Implant

[EdmundD]

My dentist is putting an implant in tomorrow. First one I've ever had. Is it OK to eat as normal afterwards? Just wondering if I should fuel up before the procedure.

Well I'm sure your dentist will advise you about that

[kwillmott]

This site seems to offer good advice

No need to "fuel up".......when the anesthetic has worn off, just eat soft foods for perhaps 12-24 hours, then eat sensibly.
Main thing is to drink plenty.

Hope you have plenty of gumbo soup in (which I'm going to get tomorrow in Waitrose after your recommendation).

[piggynose]

lol "fuel up" what are you, a car or a human being?

[Hopkirk]

A good excuse for a binge

[EdmundD]

Good excuse for more gumbo soup afterwards then..... or perhaps a bouillabaisse.....but does sound like a hearty meal beforehand won't go amiss.

[EdmundD]

And I will follow Sqad's advice to drink plenty afterwards...it will be Friday night after all.....

[Peter Pedant]

it depends on whether he has implanted a - sweet tooth!
