Ask your doctor. I don’t know the details.
It depends on how extensive the graft surgery is...ask your American Dental Association periodontist who is doing the surgery.

You can begin to eat solid foods a few days after surgery.
Great question since gum grafts is becoming very common. When you can eat solid food after a graft depends as there are different types of grafts. Generally, you should stay away from the area for at least 14 days before eating your regular diet. In some cases, it may be necessary to wait 21 days. I would talk with your periodontist/dentist as they would be in the best position to determine how long you would have to wait, base on the type of graft. Hope this helps.
Wait six weeks after Gum Graft to eat hard food
