It is the morning after a braces adjustment. OUCH! Your teeth are sore and the thought of chomping down on your Lucky Charms or any other cereal for that matter makes you want to curl back up in bed and not eat the rest of the day.
Well have no fear! We at Elrod Orthodontics are starting a month-long mini blog series on the best foods to eat after you get your braces adjusted. And in today’s post you will learn some helpful breakfast tips on handling post-adjustment soreness!
Scrambled eggs are soft and easy to chew. And they taste yummy too!
At our office, it is one of our top goals to make your braces experience as pain-free as possible. That is why we use the Damon System and also send you home with plenty of tips and tricks to eliminate any soreness you may feel. We do understand though that your teeth may be a little achy the morning after you have an adjustment, and if this is the case for you, why not try some good ol’ fashion scrambled eggs! Not only are scrambled eggs soft and easy to chew, but they will also give you a good start to your day!
Never made scrambled eggs, it’s super easy! Just take one to three eggs (depending on how hungry you are) crack them open and put them in a bowl. Add a little bit of water or milk (about one tablespoon per egg) and beat the mixture with a fork until all of the egg yolks are broken and the entire mixture is yellow.
Next place a half of a tablespoon of butter in a skillet, let it melt, then add your egg mixture. Be sure to move your egg mixture around so it scrambles! Once thoroughly cooked add your favorite toppings such as cheese, or hot sauce (for those daring people).
Then sit back, relax and enjoy your breakfast, you deserve it, and trust me, your teeth will thank you!
