Eating with dentures can be challenging, but not impossible. Your friends at The Denture Man are here to share some tips to help you enjoy your food without any trouble.

• Eat soft foods that are easy to chew and swallow, such as eggs, yogurt, fish, and mashed potatoes. Avoid spicy, crunchy, or sticky foods that can hurt your gums or loosen your dentures.
• Use denture adhesive to keep your dentures secure and prevent food from getting stuck. Clean your dentures every night and store them in water or denture solution.
• Cut your food into small pieces and chew on both sides of your mouth. Use a fork or spoon to bring food to the back of your mouth and chew slowly.
• With these tips, you can eat with dentures comfortably and confidently. You can also try new foods as you get used to your dentures.

Don’t let dentures stop you from enjoying your meals. Contact The Denture Man today and eat easily with dentures!
