A lot of sucking.

 Here is an easy solution for all of you who have dodgy teeth. Mine have to last me a bit longer so I don't want to be biting into anything hard. A piece of hot buttered toast cut into squares with a knife and fork. Eat it with a fork, feeding the pieces one at a time into your mouth. Get the saliva going, move it around your mouth with your tongue as it softens. Very little chewing is required, just a lot of sucking. 

Preservation of the remaining teeth is the order of the day. It's a money saver too as the less damage done by chewing, the less visits to the dentist are needed.

    1. Hi Nick. I remember many years ago, when I was in my early twenties, I went with my friend to the dentist because she was having to have all her teeth out. They said she had gum disease. I thought at the time how horrific was that. She has managed all her life with falsies. I was scared of dentists but eventually I found enough courage to go, and have been going ever since. I cannot imagine having no real teeth at all, so I am hanging on to the ones I have left.

    1. Same here Tammy. I had one awful experience with the dentist who came to the junior school, which put me off going again for many years. My mum had a fear of dentists, which she projected onto me, so I avoided bringing the subject up at home.

  3. Well, I don't have good teeth - fillings in the molars and several crowns, but darned if I would suck toast! If they go, they go and I'll have to have "falsies"!
