when can i eat chips after jaw surgery?

Since the treatment of jaw surgery, solid as well as crunchy foods similar to chips will be reintroduced into your diet after a period based on how fast you heal. Generally speaking it’s a good idea to start with soft or liquid diet right after the surgery and progressively move up towards firmer consistencies as your doctor recommends. In the first phase, crunchy foods are avoided for several weeks in order to let the jaw heal without putting it under additional strain. Stick to the particular dietary recommendations given by your surgeon, in order for a smooth recovery process.

We recommend having hard food after 3 to 4 months of jaw surgery, so by this token, even chips can be had only after this duration.

Contact your surgeon as soon as you can if you have any questions.
