Even if you like soft food, you’ll get tired of it if it’s all you can eat. Even worse than the boredom is how a soft food diet affects your health. Your digestive system doesn’t perform as well without fiber. Plus, diets low in fiber have been linked to conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. You’ll be able to enjoy more kinds of food again with dentures in Irvine.

One downside of conventional dentures is a shrinking jaw. With no tooth roots to stimulate your jaw when chewing, your bone begins to shrink. This eventually results in the sunken look seen in longtime denture wearers. You can avoid this by attaching dentures to dental implants.

You can wear dentures at night, but we don’t recommend doing so. Removing them while you sleep gives your gums and your jawbone relief from the pressure of your dentures. It’s also a good opportunity to soak your dentures in a cleaning solution to prevent bacteria buildup. It’s important to put them in liquid so they won’t dry out, which can cause them to lose their shape.
Dentures do not cause dry mouth, but a dry mouth can affect their fit. Saliva helps dentures adhere to your gums so they won’t slip around in your mouth. To help alleviate dry mouth, drink lots of water and try chewing sugar-free gum or sucking on sugar-free mints. You can also ask us about special mouthwashes. Some medications can cause dry mouth, so check with your physician about adjusting your medication regimen.
Initially you should eat mostly soft foods with your new dentures. Eggs, fish, and cooked vegetables are all good choices. As you become accustomed to eating with dentures, you’ll be able to add more kinds of food to your diet. It helps to cut food like steak or apples into small bites. If you’re concerned about how dentures will affect your ability to eat, ask Dr. Tozzer about implant dentures.
