15 Foods You Can Enjoy After Dental Implant Treatment

Eating after a dental procedure is always one of the inevitable challenges. The healing period is usually very critical because an infection may occur, or the healing period may extend due to injury. After dental implant surgery, for instance, you need to take precautions on the types of food you eat because some hard, solid foods can cause further aggravation of the site, causing further damage or prolonging the healing time. Therefore, you should be very careful about your choice of foods while your implant is healing.

Here are some 15 foods you can enjoy after having dental implant treatment.

1. Fruits and Vegetables

Fruits and vegetables are very high in nutrients and will not only help boost your immune system as you heal but are also recommended because they are usually soft and easy to digest. However, you should be careful about the choice of fruits because some fruits, such as apples, maybe too hard or may be difficult to chew with your new implant. Choose soft fruits such as avocados, oranges, bananas, and berries. For vegetables, you may need to boil or steam them to soften before eating.

2. Smoothies

Smoothies are always a life saver. They are not only packed with maximum nutrients, but are also very easy to prepare. You can make smoothies out of literally anything, so if you are missing your favorite fruit or vegetable, then you can easily incorporate it into a smoothie and still get the same great taste.

3. Eggs

Eggs are rich in protein and are easily available, not to mention yummy. There are many ways to prepare eggs, which makes them one of the most versatile types of food you can enjoy after your implant treatment. They are also rich in calcium, which helps with strengthening the teeth and propelling the healing process.

4. Oats

Oatmeal is not only easy to prepare but is also full of nutrients.

5. Yoghurt

Yoghurt is a superfood that you can enjoy after your implant surgery.
