Eating

[SayHello1313]

I broke a tooth the other day while eating fries of all things, and had to go to the emergency dentist to get it extracted. Had to get dragged in by my partner. Since then (3 days ago) I’ve only had water and bone/veggie broth. I’m petrified that if I try to eat something solid I’ll lose another tooth. I got lucky in the fact that the tooth I lost was a molar in the way back. I’m scared the next time I try to eat anything, I’ll just break another tooth and have to go back.

Hey there, I'm really sorry you've gone through this! I've had similar happen when I ate a Yorkie and it was a front tooth the fear may linger for a while. I'd advise smaller and gentler bites to help build back your confidence at first and eventually, hopefully, you'll be at ease that this isn't gonna happen with every tooth/every food

I hope this helps maybe even dunk some bread into your broth to soften it, that could be a good starting point!
