    The only contact with my dentist after receiving dentures is their requirement for referral to ‘their’ denturist.  (A money grab in my opinion since I can go to most any other denturist WITHOUT a referral). And, I’ve never heard of a Dentist consulting a patient about nutrition.

    My nutrition is most definitely negatively impacted.  Having Lupus with co-morbidities, i.e. osteoporosis from long term prednisone usage, my jaw bones have receded excessively so much so that my bottom plate cannot be fitted for proper chewing.  Eating raw vegetables was one of my favourite eats, even before the bone loss and after the dentures, I could no longer eat raw vegies unless I cut them into itty bitty pieces.  It is my belief that because of the loss of vegies in my diet (cooked vegies just aren’t the same as raw), I developed MFLD (metabolic fatty liver disease).  What a wonderful life eh?
