for the first week or so chewing is pretty much a no go for the back half of the mouth, but you can use the front teeth (which aren't much good for chewing but better than nothing)

and for drinking - there usually is little to no numbness (in my case none), so you can drink just fine after the first day (when you can't drink until you stop bleeding and the clots solidify)

brushing is hard because i'm understandably worried about the remaining wounds in my head

and the longer you wait the worse the recovery will be - eventually they can end up interfering with nerves or stuff like that, they become more deeply rooted and whatnot, so your recovery becomes worse
