However, if this is the first Thanksgiving with your new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.evansstdental.com\/dentures.html\">dentures<\/a>, you might assume that most of the seasonal dishes are off the table. The good news is that you only have to avoid certain kinds of foods. To keep your dentures safe, here are several holiday foods you should avoid and those you can enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 Foods to Avoid with Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While dentures are more durable and natural-looking than ever before, they can still become damaged if exposed to excessive forces. If you want to avoid chipping, cracking, or breaking them, it\u2019s best to stay clear of the following foods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Sticky foods, like pecan pie<\/li><li>Tough meats, like steak and porkchop<\/li><li>Crunchy candies<\/li><li>Hard nuts, like almonds<\/li><li>Popcorn<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Foods Can I Enjoy with Dentures?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although you won\u2019t be able to eat all kinds of foods with dentures, the list of those you can enjoy is much longer. Here are several tasty treats you can indulge in during the holidays:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Fruit, such as seedless grapes and fresh berries<\/li><li>Cooked veggies<\/li><li>Lean protein, like tofu and turkey<\/li><li>Green bean casserole (without nuts)<\/li><li>Soft foods, such as mashed potatoes<\/li><li>Dinner rolls<\/li><li>Ice cream<\/li><li>Pumpkin pie<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Essential Tips for Eating Holiday Foods with Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to know what you can include in your holiday meals while wearing your dentures. Once you do, you\u2019ll then want to practice a few measures to help make your mealtime experience more enjoyable in the long run. Firstly, be sure to cut your food into tiny pieces. Not only will this make your dinner easier to consume, but it\u2019ll minimize the amount of chewing you\u2019ll have to do. You\u2019ll want to be careful with hot beverages, as your dentures don\u2019t have nerves and won\u2019t signal the temperature properly. You can end up burning yourself if you aren\u2019t careful. It\u2019s best to also chew your food evenly, not favoring one side of your mouth, or your dentures might slip out of place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since dentures are meant to renew your smile and bite, you shouldn\u2019t have to miss out on most of the delicious meals during the holiday season. Keep these tips in mind, and you\u2019ll be sure to have an enjoyable and comfortable Thanksgiving dinner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Natalya Ramsay received her dental degree from the Oregon Health and Science University School of Dentistry.
