Do you notice Problems while Swallowing foods
Swallowing problems can occasionally happen, but if it persists, talk to Dr.Nechupadam Dental Marine Drive since it could be related to something serious. Causes of swallowing issues vary and treatment depends on what is causing the problem.

If you are having trouble swallowing, to prevent choking and aspiration avoid these foods:

• alcoholic beverages

• extremely hot foods and beverages

• caffeine and spicy foods

• popcorn, bran cereal,nuts

• celery

• dry, crumbly, or sticky foods (such as bread, cake, peanut butter, banana)

Depending on level of swallowing difficulty, the following foods may be included in the diet. These foods are grouped into four different categories:

• Thin liquids that dissolve quickly in the mouth such as frozen yogurt, ice cream, gelatin and broth.

• Nectar-like liquids where liquid coats and drips off a spoon such as nectars, milkshakes, cream soup and vegetable juices.

• Honey-like liquids that flow off a spoon in a ribbon like in yogurt, tomato sauce and honey.

• Spoon-thick liquids that are thickened to pudding consistency such as pudding, custard or hot cereal.
