A truly sorrowful goodbye one can ever think of saying next to a loss of a love one. Imagine loosing all of them who gives you the nicest smile you can ever give and the chance to eat every edible item you possibly desire to eat.
And so, it is also a focus of concern to nutrient deficiency. Being totally toothless or have poor dentures is a reason to difficulty of eating, either due to old age, poor gums or dental carries.
We therefore need to help in management by advising Mechanical Soft diet since their chewing mechanism is the problem; anything that will not give them the difficulty to swallow food is allowed if no other restrictions for any other disease not in connection to the said problem. Some have their food blenderized, but some tolerates potatoes, rice gruel or soft rice; soft chicken/meat or fish; easy to squash vegetables and fruits.
Remember that High Caloric meals are advised to avoid malnutrition and vitamins supplement if not met through natural food intake.
