Eating With Dentures

At first you may not find it as easy to eat with new dentures when compared to your old set. Please do not give up and revert back to your old set of dentures, because your mouth needs time when adjusting to new dentures.

For those patients wearing new dentures, we recommend the following during the initial adjustment period of eating with dentures:

• Start with soft food cut into small pieces; avoid hard, sticky foods.
• Chew slowly using both sides of your mouth at the same time to prevent the denture from dislodging.
• When you become used to your new dentures, you can return to your normal healthy diet.
