La Reveuse Electric Mini Food Chopper
This handy chopper allows you to easily add and chop ingredients, without removing the lid. But no matter which brand of food chopper you decide on buying; having one on hand will make your life a lot easier, during the period before and after you ge...
Food Choppers in Kitchen Tools & Gadgets - Walmart.com
This Ninja food chopper is another great option that lots of people seem to love, mostly because it's nice and small, and easy to clean.
Ninja Food Chopper Express 200W 16oz Bowl
Another Ninja favorite, is this easy to use personal blender, that can serve up lots of tasty drinks for the liquid diet you may soon find yourself on.

A powerful blender with 12 blending functions, to create the perfect smoothies, both for taste and texture, to help as your mouth begins to heal.
Hamilton Beach Power Elite Blender
This Magic Bullet set is awesome and similar to the compact little blender I have, that came with multiple serving cups and lids. This baby still gets lots of use, even now, after two years of me wearing dentures.
Magic Bullet Personal Blender Set: Bullet Mixer For Smoothies ...
This storage set has containers that were just perfect for me, when I first started making purchases to help me chop, prepare, and store the right texture of foods that I could eat without pain or discomfort.
Pyrex 6-Piece Glass Food Storage Set
This is an incredible glass set for the price, and I would have definitely purchased it instead, if I had seen it. It offers a variety of shapes and sizes and is a great deal for the money.
JoyJolt JoyFul 24pc Airtight Food Storage
While I love my glass containers for storing my special meals that are “easy on the gums” I also like having a large selection of plastic ware with lids, to organize and store all my ingredients in.
ATUPEN 50 Pcs Food Storage Containers with Lids ... - Walmart
I fell in love with blending this nutritional mix in powder form, with bananas and peanut butter, and sometimes a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I mostly bought the vanilla, but the variety pack is great too. The drinks are very filling, tasty, and nutr...
Carnation Breakfast Essentials Variety Pack
The liquid version is just as tasty, but I find it to be more costly than the powder version.
Carnation Breakfast Essentials High Protein
Losing teeth puts you at risk for losing important nutrients that your body needs. During this period, I found that various nutritional supplements came in handy, including the ever so popular Boost supplemental drinks.

Finally Getting Your Dentures and Getting Used to Wearing them!
This little handy set is perfect for storing dentures discreetly. The cups are easy to wash, and small and convenient enough to snap closed, and transport easily. I use them both- one for upper dentures and one for lower dentures, however you could e...
Denture Bath Box Cup, Complete Clean Care
I found that this popular brand of denture cleaner seemed to work just as well as the Efferdent that I eventually purchased, and became used to buying instead.
Polident Overnight Whitening Denture Tablets
I got hooked using this product, even though it's more costly than the other popular brand, but they seem to work equally the same. I'm a creature of habit, so I seem to be stuck on stupid, paying the higher price.
Efferdent Retainer & Denture Cleaning Tablets
Fixodent was one of the very first products I tried, as a holding solution, and even though it's extremely popular, I personally didn't like working with it. I also tried other adhesive brands, but soon discovered that adhesives weren't the best choi...
Fixodent Ultra Max Hold Adhesive, 2.2 oz
This is the adhesive my sister (a much longer denture wearer) swears by, but I personally didn't like it. Although it holds good, it's not convenient for easy removal and cleaning. This is the main problem I have when it comes to adhesives, even if t...
Super Poligrip Original Denture Adhesive Cream ...
This product is meant to help with the difficult removal of whatever denture adhesive you select to buy. I honestly didn't stick with - no pun intended - any adhesives long enough to give this removal method a try.
Denture Dart V2 Hard Plastic Denture Gel Adhesive Remover
These denture strips provide a cushion between gums and dentures, and offer a good hold, but I didn't like having to cut them each time, so they fit the denture. Also, you have to buy the lowers separately from the uppers. They don't come in pairs.
Sea Bond Denture Adhesive Seals, Fresh Mint
These denture cushions are much more comfortable, than just using a dental adhesive. But besides the cutting and sizing issue, one you affix them for the day, it won't be convenient to remove and clean them easily. But somehow, plenty of customers enjoy them anyway.
Sea Bond Denture Adhesive Seals, Mint Uppers
This is ABSOLUTELY the best denture holding product around. Once you apply it, there's no mess or sticky residue to worry about, and if you want to, you can put the teeth on or take them off easily throughout the day - for cleaning or comfort, WITHOU...
