I only have uppers, and I'm only a week into these immediates, so I don't have much in the way of advice from experience. I'm still stuck on applesauce and other soft stuff. But the pamphlet I got from my dentist said that chewing with dentures is more akin to a grinding motion rather than the old up and down of normal teeth. I can't say whether that applies to me since I haven't actually be able to figure out how to do that. How does one grind food between their teeth? *boggles* In fact, eating's kinda throwing me for a loop in general. It seems like I can't keep track of food as well, hard to tell what side of my mouth it's on, that kind of thing. I was taunted by a potato chip recently and nearly choked on the little fragments since I could properly guage how big they were or what.
