“I went to my consultation with an idea of what I wanted, and what I finished with was far better than I hoped. To say that I’m a perfectionist is an understatement, but Nadim and the team worked with me to make sure I was completely happy throughout.” – Mollie

The journey to a flawless smile can be an exhilarating ride, but the first week with braces often poses a few unexpected challenges.
Here at Lifestyle Dental in Preston, your dental health and comfort are our top priorities. We’ve created this in-depth guide on the optimal diet to embrace during the initial week after getting braces. This comprehensive roadmap aims to minimise discomfort, avoid potential damage to your braces, and ensure a smoother transition to your life with braces.
4 things to eat in your first week of braces
We’ve curated a list of soft foods that are not just kind to your braces but also packed with the essential nutrients your body needs.
Smoothies
Whether you’re a fan of tropical flavours like pineapple and mango or prefer the classic combo of strawberries and bananas, smoothies are a godsend. Their smooth, liquid texture will prevent strain on your teeth, and the rich nutrient content can help speed up healing. You can even sneak in vegetables like spinach or kale – their taste will be masked by the fruits, but the nutritional benefits won’t! Also, a top tip is to use a straw whenever possible, this will limit the acidic properties of the smoothie causing damage to the tooth surfaces.
Mashed Potatoes
Who says comfort food can’t be healthy? Soft, warm mashed potatoes are easy to eat and gentle on your sore teeth. With a high content of vitamin C and potassium, they are also good for your overall health. Add some low-fat milk and a dollop of butter for taste and texture, and you have a perfect meal that’s brace-friendly.
Scrambled Eggs
Soft, fluffy scrambled eggs are a breakfast staple that is also perfect for those with braces. Not only are they high in protein, but they are also rich in vitamins D and B12, which contribute to healthy teeth and gums. Mix in some cheese for an extra dose of calcium, and voila! You’ve got a nutritious, easy-to-eat meal.
Fish
Most types of fish have a soft texture that’s easy to chew and swallow. They are also rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, which promote heart health. Tuna or salmon can be baked, grilled, or even turned into a soft fish patty for a tasty, braces-friendly meal.
While enjoying these food items, you should actively avoid hard, crunchy, or chewy foods like nuts, hard candies, popcorn, tough meats, and chewy bread like baguettes. These can damage your braces or cause discomfort, especially during the first week and beyond.
Top Tips for navigating the first week with Braces
Transitioning to a life with braces requires a few alterations in your daily routine. Here are some essential tips to follow:
- Stay Hydrated: Hydration is vital for overall health, but it becomes even more important when you wear braces. Water helps to rinse away food particles that may get stuck in your braces and aids in producing saliva, which plays a crucial role in maintaining oral health.
- Eat Smaller Portions: Chewing large pieces of food can put pressure on your braces and cause discomfort. Instead, cut your food into small, manageable pieces and take your time eating. Remember, there’s no rush!
- Use a Soft Toothbrush: Brushing your teeth with braces requires care. Choose a soft-bristled toothbrush and brush gently to avoid hurting your gums or damaging your braces. Also, consider using a fluoride toothpaste for added protection against cavities.
- Regular Dental Check-ups: Regular check-ups at our clinic in Preston are essential to ensure your braces are working as intended and your oral health is at its best. Remember, we’re here to support you on this journey.
With these food suggestions and top tips, your first week with braces should be a breeze. We’re committed to making your dental health journey comfortable and easy.

January is a time for reflection and where people often make New Year’s resolutions. It’s about creating good habits for the future and setting goals to achieve in the upcoming year to improve your life. We think that consistent dental care should be added to everyone’s New Year’s resolutions to help maintain dental health and improve self-esteem!
Read on to find out why you should start by booking your free consultation at our practice in Preston.
Prevent dental problems from arising in the future
Often when people don’t have toothache, they think there is nothing wrong with their teeth. However, visiting the dentist regularly is highly recommended to ensure any problems with your dental health are identified early on to prevent more serious and costly problems down the road. If no problems exist, it will ensure that the health and function of your teeth and gums is maintained.
Dentists can even detect issues such as oral cancer and other health problems in the early stages when they are most treatable.
Help with dental anxiety
A big reason why people don’t go to the dentist is because they struggle with dental anxiety. This can range from mild nervousness to a severe phobia. Symptoms include sweating, shaking, rapid heartbeat and avoiding making dental appointments.
The good news is that we help our nervous patients feel at ease, overcome and manage their dental anxiety. We do this by dedicating longer appointment slots to give them the time to relax. We also offer the option of Intravenous Sedation, which is when one of our dentists will give you a sedative drug before the dental procedure. This helps reduce anxiety, and many patients do not remember much of the procedure.
Here’s a quote from one of our previous patients who underwent IV sedation:
“Nadim explained everything and ensured I was ok throughout treatment , Jenna called me a few days later to check how I was after sedation at home. They all have changed my thinking, what used to put me into blind panic is now enjoyable and a great experience.”
Alternatively, Dr Majid is trained in hypnosis, and studied under Paul Mckenna and Richard Bandler. By muting the irrational thoughts regarding visiting the dentist, hypnosis can create a feeling of calm.
State-of-the-art technology
It’s important to us to keep up with the latest technologies in order to give our patients the best experience they possibly can. Digital dentistry allows for more efficient, accurate and comfortable dental procedures.
You may have experienced having impressions made of your teeth using putty and trays, which are often uncomfortable for some patients. Our IntraOral scanner creates a digital impression of your teeth, which eliminates the need for those traditional impressions. We use a small wand to capture a digital representation of your teeth and gums which we then use to plan your further treatment. With accelerated precision, it takes just 30 seconds to scan single arches of your teeth!
We also have a CT scanner which is a machine that rotates around you, capturing images using a cone-shaped x-ray beam so we can produce 3D scans of teeth. It delivers outstanding precision every time and enables us to achieve high-quality and reproducible images.

At Lifestyle Dental, we use the latest, cutting-edge digital technology to help us produce accurate and high-quality scans of your teeth and jaw. These are crucial for the diagnosis and treatment of patients like you, and contributes to our 5* practice.
Have a read about some of the digital technology we use and how it benefits our patients.
The Intraoral scanner
This is used for restorative and preventative dental care.
- With accelerated precision, it takes just 30 seconds to scan single arches of your teeth.
- The patented Smart-Shade matching automatically detects the enamel colour of the scanned area, to provide a more accurate colour match for things like Dental Implants.
- Its ergonomic grip gives us better control whilst using it, increasing the accuracy of its scans.
- The touchscreen capabilities provide a seamless interaction with just a few clicks of a button.
Did you know that patients are nearly 2x as likely to report a positive experience if advanced dental technology is used?
CT scanner
This is a machine that rotates around the patient, capturing images using a cone-shaped x-ray beam so doctors can produce 3D scans of teeth.
These images are then organised together using sophisticated algorithms to construct a 3D representation of the patient’s teeth, mouth, jaw and neck region.
The key benefits:
- It delivers outstanding precision every time and enables us to achieve high-quality and reproducible images.
- This is the only system that has an integrated retractable seat that allows patients to sit comfortably whilst they are being scanned, and also enables us to comfortably scan patients who may need higher stability.
- The additional face scanning feature will help our patients to better understand their treatment plans, due to the realistic 3D facial images that automatically layer onto the x-ray images and 3D models.
