dentalssale Milk products are known to be good for health and help strengthen the bones. So, why are they contra-indicated after implant therapy?
Dental recipients need to avoid dairy products(such as: Cheese, Cow’s milk, Yogurt) during the initial few weeks. The reason is that dairy products may cause inflammation in the oral cavity and may affect implant healing. Furthermore, dairy products can cause nausea and vomiting in some individuals, which may hamper the implant healing process.
Which foods to take after implant surgery?
There is a list of foods that you can eat during the implant healing process. A soft diet is recommended for individuals after implant insertion. We recommend fresh smoothies during the first 24 hours, an excellent energy and vitamin source. You can also take cold soup for nourishment. However, hot sop should be avoided as it may affect healing.
After 24 hours, you have more options available for eating:
Eggs – eggs can be prepared in different ways, so you have multiple options. Besides, they are an excellent source of vitamins and essential nutrients that boost healing.
Potatoes – potatoes can also be prepared in different forms, so you won’t get bored eating them.
Meat and Chicken – ground meat, chicken, or lamb are excellent sources of proteins and nourishment.
Oats – oats are recommended as they don’t require much chewing and provide a healthy dose of fiber and carbohydrates.
Overall, one should ensure that they take plenty of proteins during the initial stages of implant placement. Proteins help in repairing damaged tissues and forming new ones. More importantly, they help prevent inflammation and infection at the implant site.
Getting dental implants is easy. However, looking after them to ensure longevity is slightly more challenging. So, even if you like dairy products, you should avoid them, at least during the initial few weeks. Once the implant site has healed, you can continue enjoying milk products.
