Dentures & BBQ


 
My wife does fine, just cook till tender.
COTC she can do but it's easier to cut the kernels off.
Ribs with a slight tug or FOTB.
Steak / chops, just cut to smaller pieces.

NO!

Although dentures take some time to get used to, you should almost be able to eat 2x4s once you've worn them for a while. Some folks take more time to adapt but, as long as you persist, you won't have a problem. If you adopt a defeatist attitude you're doomed.

I had all of my uppers and several lowers pulled when I was in my late 20s. Within a matter of days, I was eating corn on the cob, apples and hard-shell tacos. With the exception of cleaning the dentures, I had almost forgotten they weren't my real teeth.

I do have problems with things like coarsely cracked pepper and some small seeds getting under my lower, now a full plate. I usually know ahead of time, so use a denture adhesive, not to tighten the fit, but to keep the seeds and granules at bay.

My ex is a defeatist and has never been able to wear her lower plate. Just to confirm that it's an attitude problem, she can't even wear her hearing aids!
 
Thanks Bob,
I had uppers and lowers done. I noticed an improvement after 3 days. Yes, it is learning process, but I am looking forward to eating things I was having issues within the past.

Ive always wondered...do they pull all the teeth all at once? Do they put you to sleep first?

They pulled my teeth in 2 days. He would have done it all at once, the shots he gave me shot my adrenaline up and gave me the shakes really bad and I had an issue the first day because I forgot to take my anxiety medication. It went smoother the second day.
It was painful at some points, like when he screwed in the implants. but now the healing begins. I have some Seabond sticking pads for now.
When all is said and done, I will be able use 4x4 implants to snap my dentures into place.
I was awake the hole time
 
I thought that with that type of denture you could eat whatever you want! What did your dentist recommend?
 
I could do 4x4 implants or 4xno implants and no implants. It was not a matter of eating it was a matter of cost. 4x4 being the most expensive. I went the best 4x4
