What should I avoid eating with dentures?

Dentures can make it difficult to bite into foods without making the dentures come loose. Foods
including sandwiches (soft bread), nuts, raw fruits and vegetables become more challenging to eat with dentures.

As you get used to your dentures, you will learn the skills required to eating your favourite foods. We recommend starting with foods that don’t require as much chewing, such as potatoes and pasta. Over time, you will learn to adjust your tongue to help hold the denture. Cutting your food into smaller pieces, chewing on both sides of your mouth at the same time, and relying on your back teeth to chew will help.

Denture adhesive will help hold your denture in place, but for increased confidence and larger food selection options, denture implants should be considered.
