With them in place, you can carry on conversations and enjoy family meals like you used to. That said, some foods are infamous for damaging or dislodging them. Keep reading to learn about 4 items you\u2019d be better off avoiding!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Food #1: Popcorn<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing is as satisfying as reaching for a handful of salty popcorn during your favorite movie, but it can be problematic for your dental gear. You\u2019re probably already familiar with the sensation of having a kernel lodged annoyingly between your teeth. Now imagine having one trapped between your gums and your dentures- yikes! This savory snack is notorious for leaving bits behind that can severely irritate your gums until they can be cleaned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Food #2: Nuts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Though they contain protein and other beneficial nutrients, nuts are also dangerous for dentures because they are hard to crack into and difficult to chew. As a result, people tend to eat them on the backside of the mouth. It\u2019s important to chew on both sides when your false teeth are in your mouth, so this can be problematic. Using one side more than the other can cause them to pop out of place. On top of that, you might catch a piece of a hard shell that could damage them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Food #3: Sticky Candies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sweet treats like caramel, taffy, and others may please your tastebuds, but you\u2019ll probably regret eating them with dentures in. The sticky ingredients can stick to them on all sides and it\u2019s difficult to clear away, even if you take them out. It can slip into all the nooks and crannies and leave behind particles that attract bacteria that can cause gum disease, or worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Food #4: Dark Drinks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re probably excited to have a fresh set of false teeth to show off and wouldn\u2019t want to stain them. There are plenty of dark drinks like soda, wine, coffee, and tea that contain tannins which are known to discolor teeth, whether or not they\u2019re real. Unfortunately, dentures soak up the pigment more readily than your natural pearly whites and don\u2019t react well to teeth-whitening solutions. To keep them sparkling, choose water instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know what to steer clear of, you can make choices that will keep your dentures in prime condition. That way you can keep your perfectly renewed smile for years to come!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Avion Dental &amp; Orthodontics, your entire family benefits from a team of dentists who provide a full range of services including dentures.
