How to Enjoy Holiday Food With Implants

Whether you’re planning on having dental implants or have recently had them placed, you’ll want to follow certain dietary guidelines. These can help your teeth to heal and prevent future complications. You also need to make sure your implants are healthy and free of cavities or disease. This will allow your implants to last a long time. This is especially important during the holiday season when there is a lot of rich and sugary food which can be bad for your health in general, but especially your teeth.

Immediately After Implant Surgery

You will also want to eat a soft diet during the first few days after surgery. The main goal of this diet is to minimise irritation to your new implants. You should eat only foods that do not require chewing, such as protein shakes and smoothies. You can also snack on fruits and vegetables. This can be disappointing during the festive season, but finding ways to make your post-surgery diet more festive can help you get into the festive spirit. There are many examples of healthier holiday smoothies that you can try, although you should pay attention to the sugar content, as that can be an issue with smoothies. You will need to brush and floss your teeth daily. You may also want to consider using a floss pick, which has a pointed tip to make it easier to access the implant area. You should also brush your gums and tongue before bedtime. tools to use to protect teeth after eating holiday food

What Can You Eat

After the initial stages of surgery and healing, you will be able to eat a variety of different holiday foods. You should still avoid crunchy foods, such as bread, because they can pull your implants away from your gums. You should also avoid seeds and nuts because they can get stuck between your teeth. This can lead to bleeding or mucositis. Make sure to bear this in mind when you are eating celebratory foods, as some of them can be quite tough. Avoid sweets like candy canes, since these require you to bite down very hard. You will be able to eat a normal diet after a few weeks. You should take care to choose a variety of foods, so your mouth will receive a wide range of nutrients. You should also try to eat a balanced diet, as this will provide the proteins and nutrients needed to maintain the health of your implants. Your dentist will also be able to tell you the right types of food to eat. For example, you should avoid eating French bread. You should also eat a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables, and you should drink plenty of water. Holiday foods like Brussel sprouts are a good example of this. You should also take a break from eating sweets and other sugary foods. You should also eat plenty of protein and flaky, soft proteins, such as yoghurt. You should also be careful to eat your favourite foods. If you are uncertain of how this would apply during the holiday season, make sure you reach out to your dentist or doctor, as they will have advice and guidance for you on what you can and can’t eat.

Holiday Food Guidelines

Whether you’re planning on having dental implants or have recently had them placed, you’ll want to follow certain dietary guidelines. These can help your teeth to heal and prevent future complications. This is especially important during holidays like Christmas where the food is often unhealthy, as you need to make sure your implants are healthy and free of cavities or disease. This will allow your implants to last a long time. If you don’t know what food is suitable for you, contact your dentist, or ours at Dental Implants Plus, to get advice.

Dear Shab and team. Just wanted to thank you and everyone at the clinic for being so wonderful! You’ve all been so flexible and patient with me and, as always, so professional. I wouldn’t ever go anywhere else! Thanks

Dear Dr Shabs. This is just a note to say thank you SO MUCH for everything you’ve done for me and my disasterous teeth! Ever since I smashed my front teeth in freshers week I felt like I’ve been in the best possible hands! However, I’ve just finished a teaching course and am going to go and teach English in Jordan in two weeks time and therefore have had to register somewhere else 🙁 Whenever I’m back living in Manchester again though, I’ll be back. Cheers again, Helen (the one who does Arabic)

To Dr Jussab. Many many thanks for attending to my tooth last week. It is wonderful to be able to drink a cup of tea with no pain! Thank you also to Wendy and Molly. Teeth are so important and I tend to take mine for granted… until I get toothache… then, the dentist and his staff become the important people of my week. Sending Greetings and Best Wishes to all. Heartfelt thanks
