What are some of the dietary recommendations for denture wearers?
What will be an ideal response?
Patients using dentures should be advised to chew longer, eat more slowly, and cut fibrous foods such as apples and carrots into bite-sized pieces. The patient may benefit from following a liquid or pureed diet in the day or days following placement. Progression to a soft diet may be indicated based on comfort level. Patients should be able to follow a regular diet within a week of denture placement. High protein liquid and soft foods should be encouraged, including nutrition supplement shakes to support healing.
