[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 416340, member: 84"] The teeth are resin I believe but probably would work for ceramic too. As for eating without........... First week or so was mostly creamed soups and soft stuff that really doesn't require much chewing per se like puddings, apple sauce, mashed potatoes, meatloaf (dentist told me about that one lol). As the gums healed.........and as I lost weight and got tired of watching everyone around me eating........it progressed with me trying new things including meat. Ground beef was first cuz it's not much different than meatloaf, then crockpot cooked meats of all types you just cut the bites smaller and the crock pot makes it tender and easier to chew. I can manage ritz crackers if I'm careful about it, even did oreos the other night.....and again have to let them soften a bit. Fresh fruits / veggies no, but cooked is all pretty managable. Fast food........until recently has been pretty much a no go. Last 2 months though I can do it now. Noodles are hard though. Don't ask me why but they drive me nuts. lol Chips ect no too. husband can do it but it hurts if I try it. Last week I even managed a porterhouse steak.....cooked carefully by me to keep it tender. lmao Does make the gums sore sometimes depending on what you're eating. I broke down and had the steak because I just couldn't stand it anymore, store had a sale and I just had to give it a shot. :rofl: It's a process though and as the gums heal you work your way up to a broader variety of foods. Went to Golden Corral with the kids on sunday.........ate fried chicken (skin removed), mashed potatoes/gravy, brussel sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, popcorn shrimp. hush puppies, dinner roll, crab salad, steak, green beans.......and yup I stuffed myself silly as thankfully that is a very rare treat and the food was good. lol [/QUOTE]
