Terminology For Toothless?

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out the (a) proper term for... well, being toothless. Laughing I'm trying to find as many different foods as I can that could be eaten easily by someone in the very last stages of tooth decay. Does anyone know the proper medical term for this condition? I'm hoping this would get me the search results I need.

thanks Smile

harmonic

you can put just about anything in a food processor....add a little liquid to make it smooth.

Might be a turn off because the texture will be different, that where spices come in.

Has this person lost a lot of weight?

There some good protein powders/drinks out there.

That supplement Ensure?
If you look at the nutrition, it's very similar to Slim Fast. I say that because Slim Fast goes on sale all the time. I'd buy it for my husband when he needed to gain weight.

Instead of drinking 1 slim fast for a meal, drink two.

Be careful of the fiber though, if there's a problem with that.

You can make very nutrious soup too.

There's a brand of soup mix I buy that has great flavors...

Chicken Noodle
Chicken Tortilla
Minestrone

It makes 2 quarts of soup in 15 minutes.

I'll dice up carrots, celery, potatos and cook them separately for about 10 minutes in a small amount of water, a little more than what would boil away. Then I'll add these cooked vegs to the soup mix and prepare for the 15 minutes.....You can also saute mushroom and add that also.

The vegetable, if cut small, will be soft enough for someone with no teeth. Plus, they can dip bread in the soup to moisten so they can still chew.

There's also a Sicilean pea soup I get that's really good. You can add some olive oil to the soup as it cooks, to add calories.

Also....powered milk....that is an excellent protein to add to any soft food.
You can add the powered milk to pea soup, sauces, scrambeled eggs, mashed potatos, anything else you can think of. It will fortify and give you calcium and protein.
