I just had all my upper teeth pulled in prep for implants. I Don’t want to live on Cream of Wheat, Broth, and Mashed potatoes for the next 3 weeks while this heals. I get temp dentures in 3 weeks. I need some bone grafts still in preparation for the implants.

    My cousin had his jaw elongated, which required his mouth to be anchored shut. He would take his favorite foods, including tacos and burritos, throw them in a blender with a tiny bit of water, and turn them inro.smoothies.

      That seems like a really quick way for your most favorite foods to become your least favorite foods.

      I mean, I guess that’s what chewing does anyway, but I still feel like that’s one particular middleman I wouldn’t want to cut out.

        I don’t disagree. It looked disgusting, but it was what he did to not starve.

          2 choices: not starve or hate tacos for the rest of your life. I’m still torn…
