How can you make eating with new dentures more comfortable, especially if you are experiencing symptoms such as increased salivation and decreased taste perception?

Making eating with new dentures more comfortable, especially if you have symptoms like increased salivation and decreased taste perception, takes patience, practice, and a few practical adjustments. The article -
https://villagedentalmedicine.com/eating-new-dentures-hard/
has information on how to eat with new dentures. Your mouth perceives the dentures as a foreign object, causing it to produce more saliva to try to “wash” them out. Drinking plenty of water can help you swallow more often, which will naturally reduce the amount of excess saliva in your mouth.

Sucking on mints or sugar-free lozenges can encourage swallowing, which helps control saliva buildup without adding extra calories or sugar.

Drinking through a straw can reduce the amount of liquid coming into contact with the dentures, making it easier to manage the saliva.
