Over the next several months, it\u2019s incredibly important to\neat a soft diet, especially since you\u2019ll be wearing a temporary prosthetic that\nwon\u2019t be as strong as your permanent one. Read on to learn what your diet\nshould consist of over the next few months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Liquids<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Liquids will be a large part of your diet over the next few\nmonths, but it\u2019s important that you don\u2019t drink through a straw while you\u2019re recovering.\nThis way, your gums will have a better chance of healing properly. Some liquids\nthat you can enjoy when you get home after your procedure include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Fruit juices, including ones with pulp. <\/li><li>Milk<\/li><li>Coffee and tea<\/li><li>Soup and bone broth<\/li><li>Jell-O<\/li><li>Pudding<\/li><li>Creamy soups that have been strained <\/li><li>Popsicles<\/li><li>Milkshakes<\/li><li>Liquid flavor and nutrient supplements <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Carbs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The incorporation of carbs into your diet can help you feel fuller\nif you\u2019re not feeling satisfied with the foods you\u2019re eating. Because they can\nattract the accumulation of harmful oral bacteria if you don\u2019t keep up with\nyour oral hygiene routine, be sure to regularly continue brushing and flossing.\nYou can also rinse your mouth with a mild salt water mixture by adding \u00bc teaspoon\nof salt into a glass of water after you eat any of these acceptable carbs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Soft bread. Avoid crusty baguettes. <\/li><li>Waffles<\/li><li>Pancakes<\/li><li>Muffins<\/li><li>Pasta such as spaghetti, macaroni, and rice<\/li><li>Cooked, refined cereals like Cream of Wheat<\/li><li>Mashed potatoes<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Produce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a sweet tooth but want to avoid consuming foods\nwith excessive amounts of added sugar to them, it\u2019s a good idea to incorporate soft\nfruits and vegetables into your diet. It\u2019s best to avoid ones that contain\nseeds, like raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries. Some acceptable ones\ninclude:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Steamed, soft vegetables<\/li><li>Soft fruits, including bananas, mangoes,\npeaches, and pears<\/li><li>Apple sauce<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Protein<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While you\u2019ll need to avoid chewy and tougher sources of\nprotein like beef, you can still enjoy fish and chicken that\u2019s soft and\nroasted. Incorporating some of the following meats and substitutes in your\nmeals will help make them feel more filling:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Broiled fish and soft seafood such as scallops<\/li><li>Roasted or stewed chicken<\/li><li>Soups with small pieces of vegetables and meat\nin them<\/li><li>Tofu<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dairy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dairy products are another great soft food choice. They contain\nvital nutrients that help support your body\u2019s function and immune system. Not to\nmention, soft cheeses can easily be melted into any meal. Some dairy products\nyou can enjoy include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Yogurt <\/li><li>Cottage Cheese<\/li><li>Soft cheeses like Brie<\/li><li>Ice cream<\/li><li>Pudding<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to prepare eating a new diet after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beckdentalcare.com\/dental-implants.html\">your implant\nplacement<\/a> is to go out and buy groceries beforehand. That way, you\u2019re not\ntempted to eat something that you shouldn\u2019t or skip a meal. While the first few\ndays eating can be uncomfortable, it will become easier over time. The best way\nto make a speedy recovery is to follow the aftercare instructions from your\ndentist in Columbia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Victor Beck, Jr. has been serving the community of\nColumbia, TN for over four decades and has a special interest in reconstructing\nand improving his patients\u2019 smiles so they function and look better than ever.\nThat\u2019s why he\u2019s dedicated to taking hundreds of hours of continuing education\ncourses every year, so he can use the latest treatments the dental field has to\noffer.
