Diet and Oral Hygiene After Surgery
What precautions should be taken regarding food and oral hygiene after dimple surgery?
#Patients should eat a soft, non-spicy diet for three to five days and rinse the mouth with chlorhexidine mouthwash after every meal.
Clinical Pathology & Literature Context
Chewing vigorously or eating hard, sharp foods (like nuts, nachos, or hard crusts) can disrupt the internal mucosal incision. Hot, heavily spiced dishes may irritate the healing tissues. Alcohol and tobacco must be avoided for at least one week to ensure robust mucosal healing and avoid infection.
Surgical & Post-Operative Recovery Protocol
Gentle tooth brushing can resume immediately, avoiding direct scrubbing against the internal cheek suture.
