You got the consultation, booked the appointment, and you actually showed up on the big day. You saw the dentist and now all of that effort has left you hungry! The question is: what can you eat after having dental work done?<\/p>\n<p>For some of us, it\u2019s nostalgic to remember having a frozen treat after the dentist as kids, or attempting to say such bouncy words as \u201cbaby\u201d with a numb jaw. However\u2014depending on how extensive your dental work is\u2014you will need to be cautious of what you consume in the days following major dental work. And milkshakes will only get you so far in recovery, anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Many foods can be troublesome after dental surgery or extensive dental work. Ask <a href=\"http:\/\/carolinacompletedental.com\/meet-us\/\">Dr. Barganier, Dr. Zuffi, Dr. Williams, and Dr. McAdams<\/a> for their\u00a0recommendation about specific foods and for how long you should avoid them. Carolina Complete Dental\u00a0in Goose Creek\u00a0can be an especially helpful resource for patients navigating what to eat after dental <a href=\"http:\/\/carolinacompletedental.com\/services\/restorative-dentistry\/\">restoration services<\/a>.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an idea; if you probably can\u2019t eat those potato chips anyway, consider your dental recovery days a chance to make healthier choices. Below are soft food ideas that will treat your mouth and your body well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Breakfast<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For a warm breakfast, oatmeal topped with tiny pieces of cooked apple and cinnamon will be delightful enough to make you forget that you\u2019re on a post-dental work diet.<\/p>\n<p>Scrambled eggs with cheese are a safe and satisfying option for the savory lovers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lunch<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lunchtime may be hard to navigate if you\u2019re leaving out crunchy, chewy food. Try a healthy soup with small, well-cooked ingredients like sweet potato and lentil stew. You can make bread easier to eat by dipping it in the broth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Snacking<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Smoothies are always good for the sweet tooth snacker. Just be sure to avoid fruits with seeds. Add sugar-free yogurt for protein and healthy calories.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dinner<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you are a meat-and-potatoes person, missing your meat and potatoes, try roasting a variety of vegetables at dinnertime. Cut carrots, parsnips, squash, and zucchini into pieces of equal size; toss them in olive oil and seasonings and roast them slowly.<\/p>\n<p>If you need important dental work, call <a href=\"http:\/\/carolinacompletedental.com\/meet-us\/\">Dr. Barganier, Dr. Zuffi, Dr. Williams, and Dr. McAdams<\/a> to schedule an appointment, and then start making that healthy grocery list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You did it!
