When you first get dentures it can be nerve-wracking to think about eating chewy food, but this is a natural part of the process. It is important to speak with your dental professional with any concerns you may have but typically it is recommended to start with softer food when you are new to dentures. This allows your mouth to get used to chewing as you gradually increase what food you eat. As you transition into chewier or harder food it is important to take it slow and focus on eating cutting your food into smaller pieces until your level of confidence grows.
