Pamster,
Pureed foods will be fine so long as they are nutritious. If you could juice vegetables, that would be great. If you use a blender, cook the veggies first and add some water to the blender so they break down okay.
You can try scrabbled eggs, oatmeal, cream of wheat, apple sauce, yogurt, mashed potatoes (sweet or white), all seedless fruit pureed, soups with mushy veggies....... go on line and look up soft food diets and be practical in choosing the least chewy ones.
The sutures generally stay in for 7-10 days, sometimes up to 14 days. You may need to see your dentist after the initial post op appointment and definitely prior to having the impressions done. He will tell you if you are healed enough to move forward.

I bet the stitches will be disolved by then right? Or come out at my week after appt. As far as I know that is my only follow up appt until I am healed up enough to go get impressions made and get the upper arch made.
This is very scary for me, but so is the idea of remaining in pain. Thanks again for the help and advice. I really wish I could afford to get immediate/temporary's made, but I just can't. Your advice is greatly appreciated.  |
