Hello ..
Do you have bad experience after denture surgery. It keep pain because you keep the wrong food. It is a challenge figuring out which foods to eat after the surgery. Your entire mouth is soft and tender so any food which needs you to chew is not a good idea. But you NEED to eat. Here are a few tips that will help you find foods that you can eat with more comfort and safety:

1. For the first few days, avoid anything that requires chewing action. If you had a bigger number of teeth extracted, you dentist probably had to use stitches in your mouth. Chewing will aggravate these stitches and will make you feel miserable. Resort to food items that you can simply swallow such as applesauce and pudding. Even bananas cut into small pieces can be eaten.
2. For several hours after the surgery, you mouth is likely to remain swollen. Hot foods can aggravate the situation. Stick to room temperature or cool foods. Go for some soups which would taste great even after cooling down to room temperature.
3. Do not say no to baby food. Baby food is for babies when they have no teeth. This is exactly why it would work great for you too. Enjoy a jar of pureed peas or one of the yummy deserts.
4. Supplementary liquids such as protein shakes are also good to take during this period. You will get the vital nutrients without having to chew.
5. Avoid foods that are likely to stick to your mouth or teeth. For example, cake can stick to your teeth or to the upper roof of your mouth and getting rid of that can be very uncomfortable.

Talk to your dentist to make the right choice. It can be very frustrating, trying to find edible foods. But remember, this is a temporary situation and once you are healed, you can start chewing again.

Do you regularly see your dentist to check or change your teeth? It can become a phobia for some individual to see dentist.

If your dentist recommends dentures for you, you obviously have a list of questions cropping up in your mind. Having your teeth replaced is a major change and it takes time for the thought to sink in.

Many dentists will give you as much information as they think is reasonable. However, it is important to know these five things:

1. Dentures these days look very much like natural teeth. A good dentist will use your skin tones and help you select the right shade for your new teeth. Also, the dentist will take measurements to ensure that your new teeth will fit well in your mouth. Once everything heals up, you should have a natural-looking smile.
2. It is normal to have lots of saliva in your mouth for the first few days. Your mouth is full of new entities – your dentures – so it is going to do what nature intended. You should keep extra towels and/or tissues handy. Do not worry though; this will change in a few days.
3. For the first few days, you would not be able to eat normally. Initially, you will probably stick to soups and other similar foods. But as you heal, you will get back to solid foods. Soon enough, you will be celebrating your new smile with your favorite food.
4. It will be difficult to talk for the first few days. You will have to re-learn some of the phonetics with the new dentures in your mouth. In fact, some patients have lisps at first. But this will go away with regular practice. Just keep talking and learning.
5. You dentist can readjust your dentures if they make you uncomfortable or lead to sore spots in your mouth. Many dentists offer six months to a year of free after-care which includes these adjustments. So, be sure to visit your dentist in case if you have any problems.

Overall, getting dentures is not very painful. It is just one process to make your teeth healthier. Knowing what you can reasonably expect after you get your new teeth will help you prepare better. Be sure to ask your dentist any other questions that come to your mind.

That’s all. I hope this basic tips will help you before see dentist.
