Don’t eat or drink in anticipation of you talk to your dentist unless you have to take meds. lol

I would just eat soup or soft stuff and make sure I kept my mouth realy clean with mouthwash.

I would call the dentist and clarify your situation and have them reexplain. I imagine you can eat within a couple of hours after your procedure. Eat soft things like soup, yogurt, jello.

I had a tooth pulled and bone graft about 6 months ago and just the other day had the screw place in for a future implant. I was given antibiotics, and a prescription mouth wash, don’t use something strong like listerine, there is alcohol in it. If you did not get a prescription mouth wash, then gargle with warm salt water, gargle gently. I was told to not eat on that side and to eat soft stuff, also not to brush my teeth at that spot. Also I was told not to brush or gargle in anticipation of the next day 24 hours after the procedure, I could eat sooner but only soft stuff. I would call the dentist now but if it is too late certainly tomorrow first thing in the morning.
