During this time, you must be extra careful with your diet to not impose potential damage to your teeth replacement.

Denture-wearers shouldn't think that getting dentures signifies the end of their exciting culinary pursuits. Contrary to that, wearing dentures allows you to be more creative with your food choices or try out food items you haven't taken yet.
