Due to is going to be difficult to chew and swallow, we recommend for the first couple of weeks to follow a soft diet with extra fluids. For example: mashed potatoes, steam fish, cottage cheese, yogurt, protein and supplement drinks.
Equally important, avoid eating with your front teeth and try to use both sides to chew.
Talking
Is normal if you experience an increased amount of saliva for the first few weeks. Also, don’t be scared if your speech gets altered. This is natural for the first months; the body needs to adjust to your new teeth.
A good tip is to read aloud so you can get used to your new dentures and to improve your speech.
Denture Maintenance
We advise to be prepared with abrasive toothpaste or denture cleaner, since you will have to clean your denture twice a day.
The general recommendation is to remove the denture at night before you go to sleep. This will allow your gums to rest and breath.
