Hard to eat with dentures...?!
Question:
Hard to eat with dentures...?
my father finds it hard to eat practically anything at the dinner table now. he had all of his top teeth pulled and got dentures on top. he complains and refuses to eat things when they are either too hard or too sticky...but he seems fine with some decent steak and meats...
is there anything that he can do to help him be able to eat normal???
Answers:
Those other answers are soooooo wrong!!! First of all, if his dentures were made at the same time his teeth were pulled, he should get them relined now that his mouth has healed/shrunken/changed shape. This will give a tighter fit. If he has lost weight, this will also help. He could also look into getting a few implants placed to attach to the underside of the denture. The top of the implants would have a female attachment, with the "male" on the underside of the denture, or a bar could be made that attaches to the implants with clips on the denture.
