Dear Reader,
Good question. I would hope your doctor (periodontist, family dentist) who will be doing the procedure will review that with you and provide you with post operative instructions (I always do). Basically, you don't want to eat in anything in the area, or if you do, only very soft foods like yogurt, pudding, soups, eggs, etc. This is because the gum needs time to tighten back down onto the bone. Again, just check with your doctor and have that steak dinner before your procedure.
Hope this helps,
