At the Classic Denture Center, our dentures are designed to help you live life to the fullest and enjoy each day. One important factor in living with purpose, is knowing that your dentures are clean and well maintained.
Even though the adjustment process to living with dentures can have its own set of challenges, it is important to remember all of the wonderful things you can do with your new teeth. Just because you have dentures, does not mean that you cannot still enjoy your favorite foods, laughing hard, and getting close to the ones you love.
An important step in the maintenance process is using adhesives and dental cleansers on a regular basis. This use will help you keep control of your oral health.
You can still enjoy all of your favorite foods, whether it’s taking a bite out of corn on the cob in the summertime, or a drumstick at the fair. Everyone has foods that they love, and you should not have to avoid them just because you have dentures.
Here are a few tips for making sure that the food you eat is not harming your new dentures:
- Attempt to balance food evenly in your mouth when you chew. This help your dentures stay secure when you’re eating.
- Try to chew slowly and avoid biting down with your front teeth.
- In many cases, hot food will take a bit of getting used to, because your mouth won’t be able to sense heat as well as it did before.
