There are several things that you should not do after dental implant surgery, including
• Do not remove any gauze packs or bandages placed by the doctor right away. Gauze should stay in after a dental implant surgery for at least one hour.
• Do not drive or operate any sort of machinery. In most cases, you’ll be put under using a sleeping sedative, impairing your ability to operate a vehicle or heavy machinery.
• Do not eat solid foods. Only eat soft foods or liquid for 24 hours after your dental implant surgery.
• Do not smoke after your dental implant surgery, as it can cause infections and many other complications. Do not exercise or perform any strenuous activity. Individuals are usually on pain medication after surgery, which increases their chances of injuring themselves. Additionally, you can tear stitches or staples that have been placed on the incision site.
