Can you eat with partial dentures?
This is one of the most common questions our dental technicians get asked, especially as many people are unfamiliar with how partial dentures work in the mouth. Partial dentures, also sometimes called false teeth, are a special dental appliance which is molded to fit your mouth, providing you with a functional and aesthetic solution to missing teeth. It can be a bit tough to get used to the feeling of partial dentures in your mouth, and there can be some new sensations to get used to with chewing, but once you’re used to them you’ll never want to be without them again.
In short, when answering the question of ‘can you eat with partial dentures?’ the answer is: yes, you absolutely can. But there may be a period of adjustment as you get used to the new feeling in your mouth. It is wise to take a period of time sticking to soft foods and dishes that don’t require a lot of chewing and jaw work. Once you are more used to your dentures you will be able to get stuck into your favourite foods without too much of an issue.
Eating with new partial dentures
New partial dentures are a challenge in and of themselves, and you will be getting used to cleaning your dentures, smiling with your new dentures, and generally adjusting to having them in your mouth.
