That\u2019s because even though they\u2019re meant to withstand a lot of bite force, they\u2019re simply not as strong as dental implants or your natural teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you head off to that holiday feast, make sure you\u2019re keeping your dentures safe, and avoid eating these dangerous foods that could cause costly damage!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dietary Dos &amp; Don\u2019ts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While nobody likes dietary restrictions, sometimes they\u2019re necessary to keep your dentures in good condition. Here are a few dangerous foods you should say \u201cno thanks!\u201d to at your holiday dinner:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Marshmallows, caramels, taffy and other chewy or sticky foods<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Crunchy hard candies like candy canes or peppermints<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hard nuts or any foods made with them<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Raw hard fruits and vegetables such as carrots, apples, or pears<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Corn on the cob<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chewy or tough meats<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Popcorn<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While this may limit what you can enjoy, there are still plenty of delicious foods that are perfectly safe to dine on with your dentures. These foods include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cooked, steamed, or roasted vegetables<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Smooth or creamy soups, stews, and broths<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tender meats like turkey or chicken<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mashed potatoes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Green bean casserole if prepared without almonds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fish<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pasta, rice, or stuffing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For dessert, you can still enjoy a wide variety of sweet selections, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cakes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nut-free pies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Soft cookies or brownies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fudge<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ice cream or pudding<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, while it may be hard to pass up your holiday favorites for the sake of your smile, keeping your dentures safe and clean during dinner can prevent them from incurring expensive damage including the need for a full replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To keep them in great shape, follow these food guidelines, and if you\u2019re interested in learning more about expanding your diet with the help of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johnthompsondds.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a>, speak to your dentist about your options today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Dr. Thompson<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.johnthompsondds.com\/meet-dr-thompson.html\">Dr. John T.
