You can eat as soon as the procedure is over. However, remember that the lip, tongue, and gum numbness will last up to three hours after the procedure. So if you eat, do so with caution as you might unintentionally bite your lip or tongue. A soft diet (anything that has the consistency of mashed potato, boiled egg or pasta) that is not too hot or too cold is recommended in the first three days following the procedure.
