I can't chew for over two weeks! Help!

kristinlough

So I had a cavity :blushing: filled about two weeks ago ... I had to go back today because the filling did something ... well they replaced it with a temporary sedative filling which isn't properly packed down onto my tooth. That means that the filling throws off my bite by a little bit ... so if I chew, I could crack my other teeth at any point. So for the next couple of weeks, I need to at least TRY to eat foods that don't require much chewing so that I can keep my tooth safe and not need a root canal. Who's got recommendations that are at least kind of nutritious, and will hopefully keep me within my calories? Please and thank you

Protein shakes
Little, tiny chunks of meat
Homemade soup
Mashed vegetables or roasted and diced really small.


That's all I got off the top of my head!

I honestly think he thought it matched my teeth. Sigh. If it's not okay by Monday, I might go back to the office.

there are some serious hearty soups out there... most great veggies can be pureed... and smoothies are awesome, there are some great avocado smoothie recipes out there that would surprise most!
