For the first day or two, you should try to stick to an all-liquid or soft foods diet. As you recover, you may introduce more foods back into your daily routine, but you should still stay away from any hard or crunchy foods for at least the next few days, if not longer. We also typically recommend chewing on the opposite side of the mouth for the next several weeks to enhance your healing response. Our team at Patrick V. Nicosia D.D.S., M.S., Inc. will also provide comprehensive aftercare instructions following your dental bone graft.
