Start with Soft Foods: Begin with soft, easy-to-chew foods and gradually introduce more challenging foods. Use Adhesives if Recommended: Denture adhesives can help stabilize dentures, but consult your dentist about the best type.

Regular Dental Visits: Go for regular check-ups to ensure your dentures fit well and to make any necessary adjustments. Remember, it's normal to take time to adjust to new dentures.
