Immediately after..: Avoid sticky/chewy types of foods, if you are "numb" from anesthetic, be sure to not have anything to eat as you could accidentally and without knowing bite your cheek, lip or tongue and nothing hot to drink as you could burn yourself. Often a small milk shake or smoothie (watch the sugar) is all that one can have without problem. Remember excellent oral hygiene.
