When You Need Easy to Chew Food

Comfort food takes on a whole new meaning when you have:

• oral surgery,
• have an oral infection
• or start wearing braces.

Foods that patients normally love may hurt to chew when they have an infection or a mouth full of wires, brackets, and bands. 

Of course, there are many times when a patient may need an easy to chew diet: after tooth extraction, following gum procedures, or other oral trauma from accidents.

Introducing The Braces Cookbook—a cookbook that provides recipes for foods that take into consideration how a patient’s teeth feel after a visit to the orthodontist.

Now, there is relief in the form of this user-friendly cookbook, The Braces Cookbook, which provides recipes in several comical categories, including “Very Tender Vegetables,” “Mellow Main Meals,” “Be Nice-to-Me Beverages,” and, my favorite, “Definitely Deserved Desserts.” The book also provides a list of “easy eating” foods and soothing tips for those difficult days.

Here are two books that an help:

Dr. Russell - You have a great site. I found it when searching for a soft food diet for my dad who has terminal lung cancer and isn't eating well. I have worked in dentistry all my life, both chairside and now as treatment coordinator, presenting tx. plans and enrolling patients in their dental health. I just wanted to point out that there are some typo's you'd probably like to correct. Look under your child's first visit section in the "I'm ready for my Close-up" section. You've gone to a lot of care to make this an awesome site ... I'm sure you'd like to know it needs a little proof-reading! Smile! Donna Weible
