Few days-week: After any oral surgery, it usually takes a few days before things are not so sensitive. Best to go on a liquid diet (protein shakes, smoothies, etc) until you feel capable of handling some soft chewable foods, usually iw2ithi a week. Start warm salt water rinses after 24 hours to expedite healing.

Same day: We allow solid food the same day as tolerated.
