If you are scheduled for dental implants, it is essential to plan the days following surgery. Many patients tend to be surprised at how smooth recovery is during the initial weeks when adhering to basic guidelines. The two major areas you will want to focus on are nutrition and relaxation. 

After the insertion of your artificial tooth root, you will want to stick to a soft food diet. Some examples of ideal options include yogurt, applesauce, pasta, soup, and smoothies. Doing so will put minimal stress on the surgery site and help promote a more speedy recovery. It is also an excellent idea to take vitamin supplements to enrich your daily intake. Do the best you can to receive a wide range of nutrients during this time. 

Along with a carefully considered meal plan, you will want to devote at least three days to getting quality sleep. Skip out on your exercise routine in the first few weeks and do whatever you can to relax. Your body needs time to heal and tend to the surgery site to ensure a speedy recovery.
