Eat with Confidence

Chewing food is the first stage of the whole digestive process. So a certain amount of biting force and muscle co-ordination is needed to chew effectively.

Both dentures and natural teeth need to reduce your food for swallowing and your mouth has to produce sufficient saliva to break down food to make chewing easier. Using your tongue and cheeks to manipulate food particles also affects chewing.

In short, there is a lot more to chewing than people realise, and it is only when people lose their teeth they discover just what a vital role teeth play in this basic function.

Some people find their chewing forces can be significantly reduced when they change to dentures. This chewing strength and ability can then result in changed:

Eating habits:

• Food types
• Food quantities
• Eating venues
• Even the people with whom you will dine

In all these respects, there can be big differences between one denture wearer and another. You can prevent these issues by choosing high quality dentures to help with the digestive process and improve chewing efficiency.
