If you have just had dental implant (Zahnimplantate) surgery then the first few weeks after your surgery is very important. When a doctor first implants dental prosthesis (Zahnersatz) it’s though a series of small holes and screws within the your jaw bone the result of this is that during the first month or so you need to be careful not to eat food which will stress your teeth. A dentist may even go so far as to give you a list of permitted foods which can come in very handy. When choosing which foods to eat after dental surgery it’s also important that you eat foods which do not adversely affect your health. You need to make sure to eat a balanced diet which is rich in calcium so that your jaw bones become strong enough to hold the implants in place for life.
People who enjoy eating meats will probably find the first few months wearing dental implants a nightmare since the only meat they should eat is either fish or chicken and that too only occasionally. The reason meat is not permitted is because it can be tough and it can stress the prosthesis since in the majority of cases meat requires a pulling action from your jaw and the tougher the meat is the harder your jaw will need to work. If you stress your jaw too much you actually risk loosening any one of the screws that hold the dental implants to your jaws.
However it’s recommended that you eat lots of green vegetables which are rich in vitamins. Doctors will also recommend that you drink lots of milk and eat eggs along with taking calcium supplements. The reason these foods are stressed is because egg is high in protein which should compensate for the lack of protein in your diet since you are not eating much meat. The green vegetables ensure that you don’t get anything stuck in your teeth as well as help speed up the healing process.
It would also help if you avoided foods that have a high acid content such as lemon juice. The reason acidic foods can be dangerous is because they can eat though the metal of your implants. They can also get though the raw pores of your bones and damage your jaws as well. During the first week after surgery it’s recommended that you just restrict your diet to liquid food such as soups, stew, etc. This will ensure that you don’t stress your new implants too much.
