Things I can do sense getting all my teeth pulled

It's unbelievable, the new world that opens up when you finally give in and have your teeth pulled.
Like for instance, I can touch my nose with my tongue for the first time.
These days, when I pop a slice of bread in my mouth, my face disappears.
Disappointment looks like a turtle.
I'm afraid of the mirror.
Fact is, I have to wear those ugly, nasty, uncomfortable plastic choppers in self defense. :)

My husband is recently now ttothless agetting all his teeth pulled out. He can't hardly eat anything and everything he tries to eat chokes him. I have to pratically cut his food up lik ebaby food since he doesn't have dentures yet and probably won't for awhile.

Try making sure there's plenty of his favorite snack foods-the softer ones. Cheetos and that cheesy popcorn. Stuff like that. He'll get hungry enough to try it. The first few attempts will make his gums sore but then he'll get hungry again and try again.
It's a great way to toughen up those gums and he'll get more adventuresome. :)

Thanks, I appreciate the tips. He is still tender but we are trying him on th little rougher foods now. Also his gums aren't closing together and that makes it harder also to bite into things.
