I am at my witts end

[in a mo]

Because I have taken large amout of prescribed tablets over meny years ,I developed severe problems with my teeth ,to cut a very long story short ,I was admitted into hospital for a total clearance .Ok no problem I fitted for dentures ,I have a so called first set while the healing starts.
At first I was eating porrige which was ok then Shredded wheat type cereals ,the taste was not as I remember ,more healing, more foods ,everything is disgusting.

My Question, is there any hope ,what has happened to my taste buds ,I am desperate ,

[Ankou]

to be honest i find poridge and shredded wheat a bit tasteless too.

is it just taste buds or senseof smell as well ? you could try upping on the calcium, and vitamins b and c. oher than that i would talk to your gp about potential referral to an ent specialist.

Having your teeth out affected your spelling too

what you are eating is pretty bland but I understand you still need to eat soft stuff. Do you like yoghurt? That comes in all sorts of flavours, you could try and see if you can distinguish the tastes.

And yes there are various soups too.

More likely to be stuff coming out of the extraction sites while they are still healing,,, when you eat it puts pressure on these areas and little bits of fluid come out, try some things that are a little more acidic like soft bread and butter with blackcurrant jam but warm it and strain the pips out first, orange segments and crushed pineapple the bromelein will help soothe any soreness, they will stimulate saliva production and help clearing debris too. once your mouth is fully healed you should be fine again
