After seven days, many people feel much better. Swelling often drops. The area feels less annoying. But the implant is still doing important work under the gum, which means you shouldn’t treat your mouth like nothing happened.<\/p>\n
\u2022 A small piece of soft chocolate is usually the easier option because it does not demand much chewing.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Sticky chocolate bars are where I would draw the line. They hang around longer than they should.<\/p>\n
