In general, it is recommended to only consume soft foods in the days following your procedure. Also, be sure to consume an adequate amount of fluids, as this is an important part of the healing process.
Some things you should avoid after your procedure are:
Smoking/Vaping: smoke is a tissue irritant and can lead to infection, delayed healing, and dry sockets. Avoid engaging in this behavior for at least 2-4 week post operation.
Alcohol: delays the healing process
Hot Liquids: to avoid burns, do not consume hot liquids for at least four to five hours after your procedure, or until the freezing is gone.
Hard/Crunchy Foods: may become lodged in incisions. These are not a good idea to consume for the first 3-4 weeks post operation.
This depends on the service you require, and the severity of your condition. For example, you can expect to get an operation date for wisdom teeth removal that falls in the approximate 4-6 week range.
