Denture wearers have long been told they cant eat certain food , This can be true in certain circumstances but giving up food that you love and crave be really hard. Some foods should be avoided but not necessarily give up completely. Some of the often suggested food not to eat are: Nuts- Crazy about nuts? Almonds, cashews , Peanuts ect! these are really hard to give up but anyone who has dentures and has eaten them before knows that they tend to get under your dentures and agitate your gums. Kinda like having a rock inside your shoe! What can you do if you love nuts? try other salty alternatives , Olives for example, or Pickles, Grapes and berries are also a good alternative. Steak- This is a tough one , who doesn t love a good steak? While it can be hard on your gums and tough to chew i don t recommend giving up steak per say . A couple of ways around this are to eat better cuts of steak Buy tenderloin or very to chew cuts. Stay away from tough steak ( not mention its not as good)
