Besides dairy, what else should you avoid after dental implants?

1.Spicy and acidic foods: delay recovery and increase discomfort

Spicy and acidic foods may cause you additional discomfort and delay the recovery process. Chili peppers and acidic foods can irritate the gums and mouth in the surgical area, causing increased pain. At the same time, these foods may affect wound healing and increase the risk of swelling and inflammation. Certain ingredients contained in spicy foods may also cause other discomfort in the mouth, leading to a longer recovery period after surgery.

Acidic foods, such as citrus fruits and tomatoes, may also irritate the traumatic area in the mouth, increase pain and delay healing. Therefore, it is best to avoid consuming too much spicy and acidic foods for a period of time after dental implants to help relieve discomfort and promote healing.
