For the first few days, steer clear of hard, crunchy, or spicy foods. Things like chips, nuts, or spicy curries might irritate your gums. Instead, opt for softer options like yogurt, soups, and mashed potatoes. These are much kinder to your mouth as they heal.
Also, avoid overly hot or cold foods and drinks. For a few days, your teeth and gums might be a little extra sensitive to temperature. Think of it like babying your mouth—after all, it’s just been through a deep clean!
