Hi Dave
My dentist advises 4 "meal moments" a day. No sugar what so ever- so choose drinks with artificial sweeteners. As we have no saliva our teeth rot much more quickly so we must take care about what we put in our mouths!
A meal moment is a proper meal or snack. I have told her that 4 is impossible as we have to eat a little and often. OK she says but keep flossing!

Hello Anne W

Thanks for your reply

At present im on fortisips and eat things such as custards youguts gooey choclate things pudding caramel deserts all sweet things

my wife as started making soup but the sweets have a high calorie so thats all im getting down

just got mixed up with sugar free etc so artificial sweetners are ok

i clean my teeth every meal even snacks have the small toothbrushes use durapat 2800 flouride toothpaste,have gum shields made for gell but gums sore and use flouriguard rinseo protect them

Just trying to keep my teeth

i know my eating should start to improve and hopefully get to the 4 meal moments but finding it hard to get above 2200cals a day proberly eating something every 2 hours

Sugar is great! Try eating soft fruit, blueberries. raspberries. strawberries etc with copious amounts of sugar and cream. Then you are getting vit c. calcium and calories with the fat.
Can't eat oranges or apples but now can open mouth wide enough to eat banana! Have just discovered cinammon so now making cinammon and raisin bread eaten with loads of earl grey tea.
Earl grey has more taste. Also found that filtered water tastes so much better than out of the tap.
Have a great wweekend
Anne

Thanks Anne W

Enjoy the weekend to
