Soft diet: One thing you can do for a little bit is to use some ice to help healing and keep your diet soft. You don't want to be chewing things too hard or that require a lot of effort to eat. After the procedure, by keeping your diet soft, your tooth will thank you ! try this for a couple days to give your tooth the chance to rebound!

Give it time: Dental treatment often is like a bruised knee. It's sore and needs a little time to settle down. Avoid chewing on hard foods and avoid chewing gum. Use common sense to guide you through the healing. Usually most pain is gone within a few days. If pain persists beyond one week you should contact your dentist.
