Usually yes. A ripe banana is soft enough that one does not need to bite it with force making banana a far better choice than crunchy or chewy foods during early healing.<\/p>\r\n
The timing is the important part. If the dentist has told you not to eat for a period after the procedure follow that instruction first. The mouth may still be numb from the anaesthetic and eating while numb makes it easy to bite the cheek or tongue without realising it.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Very soft when ripe so there is chewing involved.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Mashed banana is even easier to manage during the first few meals.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 No hard skin or crunchy texture gets near the surgical area.<\/p>\r\n
Take bites and chew on the side away from the implant. Do not press banana directly against the area with the tongue either.<\/p>\r\n
The practice sounds overly cautious. The first few days are not the time to test how much pressure the area can handle.<\/p>\r\n
A banana smoothie can be an option but keep it simple.<\/p>\r\n
Serve it cool or at room temperature than extremely hot.<\/p>\r\n
And skip the straw.<\/p>\r\n
If one blends banana do not turn it into an excuse to add toppings or seeds. Keep the texture smooth while the area is healing.<\/p>\r\n
If banana causes pain bleeding starts again. Something feels stuck around the surgical area stop eating and contact the dentist.<\/p>\r\n
Do not poke around with the finger. Keep prodding the area with the tongue.<\/p>\r\n
The dentists instructions also take priority if one had a bone graft or another procedure at the appointment.<\/p>\r\n
Healing is not identical for everyone.<\/p>\r\n
