Yes, you can eat with temporary dentures, but it will take some getting used to. They are not as stable or well-fitting as permanent dentures, so you may need to be careful about what you eat and how you chew.

Here are some tips for eating with temporary dentures:

• Start with soft foods. This will be easier on your gums and will help you get used to the feeling of dentures in your mouth. Some good options include soups, yogurt, mashed potatoes, and applesauce.
• Cut food into small pieces. This will make it easier to chew and will help prevent the dentures from slipping.
• Chew slowly and carefully. Don’t bite down too hard, and chew on both sides of your mouth.
• Avoid sticky foods. These can be difficult to remove from your dentures and can also cause them to loosen.
• Avoid hard foods. These can damage your dentures or break them.
• Use denture adhesive. This will help keep your dentures in place and prevent them from slipping or moving around.

Additional things to keep in mind:

• Your temporary dentures may need to be adjusted or relined as your mouth heals from the tooth extraction.
• It is important to see your dentist regularly for checkups and adjustments.

With a little practice, you should be able to eat most foods with your temporary dentures. However, if you have any problems, be sure to see your dentist.
