For the first 24 hours after your bone graft procedure, there are some important general dietary rules you should follow in order to promote proper healing of the treated area.
These guidelines include avoiding:
Overly hot or cold liquids
Using any types of straws
Spicy, crunchy, or hard-to-chew foods
Dr. Assi recommends a steady diet of soft foods like yogurt and applesauce the day after your procedure. It’s also best to avoid eating until after the effects of your local anesthetic have worn off; otherwise, you may irritate the surgical site.
