What to Eat When Adjusting to Your Dentures

Posted by Belmont Dental Centre on January 6th, 2021

Eating can be uncomfortable when you have new dentures in New Westminster. It will take some time to adjust to your new dentures in New Westminster but while waiting for that to happen, you should prepare foods that are easier to eat.

During the first few days of wearing your new dentures in New Westminster, you should be on a soft foods diet. You can eat applesauce, porridge, pudding, mashed vegetables, and yogurt, to name a few. You can also have soups with pureed or mashed ingredients. That can be more filling especially when you are hungry.

Be sure to load up on a lot of bone broth for healing. It contains a lot of collagen, which can help keep your gums healthy. That will make your gums more resistant to the pain of wearing dentures in New Westminster.

After a few days, you can reintroduce harder foods to your diet. You can eat soft bread and pasta. You can also have meat. Ground meat and poultry are good for you because they contain fats and proteins for good gum health.

For dessert, you can have fruits that are easier to eat such as grapes. You can also try turning some fruits into a smoothie. Add some ice to turn that into a cold and refreshing drink. That can be good in soothing tired and aching gums. Scrambled and boiled eggs are also easier to eat and can help you stay full for hours.

When you are used to your new dentures in New Westminster, you can eat bigger chunks of meat. Slice a big piece of meat into smaller pieces so that they are easier to chew.

Chew slowly and deliberately. Don’t be in a hurry to chew it. Just take your time so you can learn how to let the dentures work for you. After some practice, you will eventually get the hang of it.

Avoid food that is hard to chew like nuts. You should also avoid sticky foods like marshmallows, peanut butter, and gummy treats because these can stick to your dentures.

Make sure you go to the right dentist to get your dentures. It’s important to have a proper fit for your dentures. If it doesn’t fit properly, it could fall down easily.

Belmont Dental Centre can help you get proper-fitting dentures. Take advantage of the latest technologies in dentures that ensure a better fit. Talk to your dentist about what denture technologies would be the best fit for your needs. For instance, implant-supported dentures could provide better support for your teeth compared to other denture technologies. It will take more time to recover but the adjustment could be easier because the dentures are anchored to an implant.
