One of the main reasons for wearing dentures is to rediscover the joys of eating! However, this newfound freedom comes with a few initial compromises; indeed, there are some things you need to know before you enjoy your first meal!<\/span><\/h4>\n

What you can and can’t do \u2014 or eat \u2014 with dentures<\/span><\/h2>\n

First, it’s important to remember that eating with dentures can be more difficult in the beginning. Rest assured; this is perfectly normal. The muscles in your mouth need time to readjust!<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s therefore important to avoid the urge to remove your dentures when you eat. Just because it seems easier at first doesn’t mean it’s a good idea!<\/span><\/p>\n

What’s more, you should choose your food very carefully in the first few months of wearing your dentures. As with natural teeth, some foods are simply more difficult to eat.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Foods with a fibrous texture<\/span><\/h3>\n

Avoid foods with a fibrous texture, such as lettuce, celery and red meat, as they tend to get stuck in or to your dentures. <\/span><\/p>\n

While cooking these foods can help, it\u2019s not a perfect solution. Unlike a piece of celery, filet mignon doesn\u2019t get easier to chew with dentures when cooked for a longer amount of time!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sticky foods<\/span><\/h3>\n

Eating sticky foods with new dentures can cause them to move out of place. So, avoid eating fresh bread with your new dentures and go for a lightly toasted slice instead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Like bread, candy, especially caramel and chewing gum, should be avoided in the first few weeks while you get used to your dentures. If you want to eat caramels, choose small pieces and let them melt on your tongue.<\/span><\/p>\n

When we think of soft foods, we immediately picture pureed vegetables. However, there are plenty of soft foods that tend to be overlooked! Here are some suggestions of foods you can eat with your new dentures.<\/span><\/p>\n
