How to Bite Into Food Without Your Dentures Popping Out


Introduction

Biting into foods like sandwiches, fruits, burgers, and pizza can feel challenging with dentures. But with the right technique and tools, you can bite comfortably without your denture lifting or popping out.

 


 

 Step 1 — Use Adhesadent Before Eating

Moisturizing adhesive helps the denture stay in place much more securely.

 


 

 Step 2 — Cut Food Into Smaller Pieces

Smaller pieces = less forward biting pressure.

 


 

 Step 3 — Use Your Canines (Not Front Teeth)

Front teeth create upward pressure that lifts dentures.

Canines (corner teeth) help guide food into the mouth without dislodging the denture.

 


 

 Step 4 — Bring Food to Your Mouth, Not Your Mouth to the Food

This keeps your jaw stable and helps control the bite.

 


 

Step 5 — Hold Food With Two Hands

Increases control + reduces forward force.

 


Step 6 — Chew Evenly on Both Sides

Once food is inside the mouth, chew left-right-left-right to prevent rocking.

 


 

 Step 7 — Clean After Eating

Use Cleanadent Wipes to remove food debris that can cause slippage later.

 


 

 Conclusion

Biting with dentures is a skill — and like any skill, it improves with the right technique and a little practice. Use these steps and you’ll be able to bite with confidence and comfort.
