Dentures<\/a> are the tried-and-true solution for replacing missing teeth because they provide so many benefits. With them in place, you\u2019ll have beautifully restored, complete arches to smile confidently, enunciate words, and eat healthier foods to support your oral and overall health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it often takes new patients about a month to adjust to their new prosthetics and learn to eat correctly with them in place. Continue reading to learn 3 helpful hints that can ease your transition!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Tip #1: Stick with Soft Foods at First<\/h2>

Many patients missing permanent teeth develop malnutrition
because many wholesome foods are tough to bite into. Although you might feel
tempted to dive right into your favorite meals when you receive your new
dentures, it\u2019s best to start softly.Your gums will likely feel sore or inflamed until they
become desensitized to the additional pressure of supporting your prosthetics
all day. You can avoid triggering additional discomfort by choosing softer,
blander foods that won\u2019t irritate the tender tissues. Popular options include
scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, applesauce, yogurt, or blended fruit
smoothies. You can reintroduce more solid selections once you feel more
comfortable and confident. <\/p>

Tip #2: Chew Carefully<\/h2>

Most people tend to chew more on one side of their mouth
than the other, but if you eat this way wearing dentures, you\u2019re more likely to
destabilize or dislodge your teeth. Not only that but biting into harder foods with
the front teeth of your restoration might push them out of position.You can avoid an embarrassing mishap by taking slow,
conscientious bites with your canines to dig into your food. Then, chew slowly
and gently while working both sides of your mouth to strengthen it evenly. With
enough practice, you\u2019ll be able to eat without as much focused effort because
you\u2019ll have developed more muscle memory with your dentures in place. <\/p>

Tip #3: Cut Smaller Pieces<\/h2>

Did you know that missing teeth can cause gastrointestinal
issues? You rely on a complete set to thoroughly grind food enough to be easily
swallowed and digested. With dentures in place, you can once again enjoy more
solid meals, but you may need to start by cutting them into smaller pieces
until you\u2019re accustomed to your new teeth. Doing so ensures that the bits of
food are small enough that you can easily manipulate them in your mouth to chew
them without losing your prosthetics.If you\u2019re still unable to eat effectively with dentures after a few weeks, you should contact
your dentist so they can verify that everything fits correctly and is in good
condition. <\/p>
