Chewing and nutrition can be greatly improved after the placement of dentures. It takes about a month after placement in order to adapt to the new way of chewing food. Unfortunately, there are people who, after the placement of dentures, avoid meat, fruits and vegetables and turn to soft, processed foods, rich in fats and sugar. This has an unpleasant effect on general health. Special care should be taken by those who follow a special diet for health reasons. The diet should include all types of food and definitely dairy, legumes, vegetables and fruits. Here are some tips for better chewing with dentures: If you have recently worn dentures, start with a small amount of soft food that you will place on both sides of your mouth. You have to chew the food on both sides at the same time, because otherwise the dentures are easily deflected. You can consume all kinds of food with proper preparation. If you find it difficult to chew meat you can cook minced meat. You can cut the fruit and salad into small pieces. You can chew the fish without fear and easily. Never bite food with your front teeth (e.g., do not bite an apple with dentures). Cut the food into small pieces and place it on the side of the mouth on both sides. Similarly, do not try to floss with your dentures. There are some foods which can detach the dentures from their place. Such foods are sticky processed foods such as white rice, white bread crumbs and Turkish delights. It is also difficult to chew gum with your dentures. Foods with small spores (e.g., sesame buns, kiwis, tomatoes) are annoying because the spores get under the dentures. Experience shows that most people who wear complete dentures for a long time are satisfied with chewing most foods.
