Besides dairy, what else should you avoid after dental implants?
8. Rice: prevent the particles from getting stuck in the wound

Granular foods such as rice, although common in the daily diet, may become lodged in oral wounds, causing infection or irritating the dental implant area. Especially long-grain rice or glutinous rice has larger particles and can easily get stuck between the gums and teeth, causing discomfort and potential risks.
To avoid these inconveniences, it is best to avoid eating rice or other granular foods after surgery and choose soft foods that are easier to chew and swallow.
