Soft Foods to Eat After Oral Surgery

 

You should eat a soft food diet for 5 to 7 days after oral surgery, depending on which type you receive. During your soft food diet, we at Oral Surgery Consultants of Pennsylvania want you to know the importance of taking in the foods your body needs for energy and to carry out its basic processes.

Immediately following oral surgery you will not be able to chew semi-solid food due to swelling in the mouth. Your diet may consist primarily of soups, breads and grains, fruits and vegetables, as well as protein-based foods. Some soft protein-based foods include tofu, broiled lean beef, chicken, tuna, liver and salmon. You may also be able to consume scrambled eggs. You may also be able consume dairy products following oral surgery. Dairy foods that may be mild enough for consumption include milk, yogurt, milkshakes, custard, plain ice cream, ricotta cheese, and cream cheese.
