For the first two weeks after surgery, your diet will be restricted to liquid foods such as juice, soup, etc.

Only after three weeks will you be able to start eating soft food, which would be solid.
This answer gives a detailed timeline of when you can have what kind of food. You may go through it for more information.

If you have any questions, connect with your surgeon as soon as possible.
If you are interested in getting a second opinion, either get in touch with us or browse through our in-depth listicles on surgeons based in Turkey and India.

After jaw surgery, the time before returning to solid foods differs from one case for another due to differences in operation procedures and individual recovering processes. Patients would need to follow the liquid or soft diet for several weeks before introducing solid foods slowly. It is imperative to adhere strictly to the tailored dietary recommendations given by your oral surgeon. They can design a personalized plan for you, according to your surgery and recovery progress; this will ensure safe healing from the operation.

Mera naam Abhi hai mai 2 saal se gutka khata hu aur ab mai kuch bhi teekha nahi kha pata kyuki mere galfade chhil gye hai andar se isliye khana bhi nahi khaya jata iska kya ilaj hai?

Male | 19

Mucositis is when the inside of your mouth (oral mucosa) peels off and makes it hard for you to eat spicy things or anything sharp. To fix this, the number one thing is to stop using gutka. Drinking lots of water and using mouth rinses may also help. However, you should make sure to go to the dentist so they can check it out further and give you some solution for it so that it doesn’t turn into anything worse.

I a 18 year old female and I want to have braces in my tooth ... I have improper tooth I want to straight them

Female | 18

Malpositioned teeth can lead to problems such as difficulty in chewing and talking. It is the result of genetic factors or the acquisition of certain habits like sucking thumb. Braces are a well-known method for fixing such problems. They slowly shift your teeth to the desired position. Do not be afraid, as many teenagers your age wear braces, and is completely normal. But, you can visit an orthodontist to learn more about it.

I am 39 urs old. I have root canal tomorrow. I am asked to take 2 tablets one is betmax 509 and another is metrogyl er . I could see both are antibiotics. So I have a doubt that is it required to take 2 antibiotics?

Female | 39

It’s common if you’re confused about taking two antibiotics before a root canal. Betmax 509 and Metrogyl ER are antibiotics that fight against infection. To ensure all the infection is gone, your dentist might have prescribed them both. Take both of them as directed which will help you not to get any complications after the process. Follow what your dentist told you and in case of any questions ask him or her.

Sir When I chew something, my left jaw hurts a lot, Can you plz tell me any medicine or solution?

Male | 24

It sounds like you might have a problem with your temporomandibular joint (TMJ) or a dental issue. It's best to see a dentist or an oral surgeon for a proper diagnosis and treatment. Avoid hard foods and take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. Please visit a dentist soon for accurate care.

The top front teeth of my mouth were given crowns for cosmetic reasons last year. My upper canines are now in continual agony. A dentist performed an examination and x-rays, and it was discovered that the teeth were infected. When my teeth are covered with crowns and I brush them every day, how can they get infected? Is there a problem with the crowns?

Female | 55

I'll need an xray to confirm this & clincal examination is needed to comment on this further.

I am 30 years old my 2 teeth have black tartar because of tobacco chewing so what are the solution please give me the solution with price so i can manage to do it

Female | 30

if it's the front tooth then veneers is the best option for it, which would cost you around 15,000inr per tooth.

Best solution is to quit smoking. if can't be done then go for regular clean ups to a local dentist once in 5/6 months

From what you have said, you might have fractured the teeth and your dentist or an endodontist should be visited so soon. But it is worth seeking speedy medical help so that there may be no more damage or infection.

Hi, I was born in 2003. I am experiencing problems with my jaw. It started hurt gradually, whenever I would brush my teeth it would make cracking noise, in 2022 it started to become serious, it hurt for 3 months, I couldn't open my mouth wide, it would hurt when I would eat and chew. It stopped for a month and it started again, now whenever I yawn, eat or brush my teeth l hear a cracking noise.

Female | 20

You may have temporomandibular joint disorder or TMJ. Jaw pain, clicking noises when moving your jaw, trouble opening your mouth wide - these are signs. Causes include grinding teeth, stress, and misaligned jaw. Eating soft foods can help. Using warm compresses too. Relaxation methods, like deep breathing. If pain continues, see a dentist or oral surgeon.t.
