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.
