Some Tips for Eating With Your Softliners
People come to us for softliners in St. Catharines when they have a need for dentures. These are people who have faulty teeth that might be diseased or others that are missing. It’s important for people to remember that adjusting to eating with dentures is only temporary.
Here are a few tips that you can use while you are adjusting to soft-liners.
Take It Easy At First
This is the first rule of thumb when you start eating with dentures. Start slowly and pick softer foods that don’t need a lot of chewing. Crunchy foods like raw meat and crackers, can cause inflammation and irritation by putting stress on your gums.
If you find your dentures occasionally slip when you smile cough or laugh, gently bite down and swallow so they reposition themselves.
Check on the Temperature of Your Food
Remember dentures insulate your mouth so it will be hard to gauge the temperature of food at first. The best idea is to test them with your lips. Here’s another useful tip when you’re first getting used to eating with softliners in St. Catharines.
Holding liquids in your mouth for any length of time can cause your bottom dentures to loosen.
Be Patient With Your Sense Of Taste
Bitter and salty foods might taste a little different at first. This is normal and you’ll find your sense of taste will return after a transition period .
After a short amount of time, you will be ready to go back to the foods you love and a more normal diet.
Here’s a few pointers for when that happens.
- Items like cereal and whole-grain bread are good for your overall health. However, they can stick to your new dentures. Always have liquids on hand to make them easier to swallow.
- It’s important to distribute your food and chew on both sides of your mouth. Your dentures will be kept stable while you are eating.
- You might need to replace some items in your diet. For example, slow cooked meat and stew can be added to new diet containing eggs, fish and poultry. It’s best if you try to avoid hard to chew meats.
Finally, you need to take some time when choosing adhesives for softliners in St. Catharines.

Testimonials
I had such an amazing experiences at Onyx Denture Clinic getting my new night guard. Things have really improved since my last one was made. The friendly and charming dental tech Bart scanned my teeth until he had a perfect 3D image to work with. It's so much more comfortable than having a tray of sticky goo in my mouth to make the impressions. I would recommend choosing Dr. Dagmar as your denturist, she is knowledgeable, caring and professional.

I've had a smile I've been embarrassed of. Dagmar at onyx as well as the staff was very accommodating, affordable, and great overall. You can tell she cares for the quality and care of her patients. The denture is beyond my expectations and so happy with my smile now and looks so natural!
