I have come to the realization my teeth must go. Doc says they are the primary cause of my ear infections.
I cant afford dentures. I know Im going to look ridiculous but I dont have a choice. How will I eat?

XO the same way bad teeth cause heart diesease (or thats the current theory)
There are 2 tubes in the back of the throat called Eustachian tubes. They allowe for pressure equilization and any drainage if needed from the ear. When germs get into the tube it can close it off and cause an infection and that terminates is a ruptured ear drum

Eat soft foods or food cut up in very small bites. You might have to give up some hard foods you love. I know someone with no teeth and that's how they eat. They have dentures but complain they are annoying to wear.

I have dentures but sometimes when I am alone I take them out. I can eat anything except corn on the cob. I just cut the food into small pieces.

The toothless people eat very thin foods like soup or boiled noodles. Those are very easy to chew by in other case, people put artificial teeth and eat and when they sleep, they take off their teeth and brush it then go to sleep. It's the simplest way to chew you food! Good Luck,
Saahi

Everything goes into the blender and then you get to enjoy each meal through a straw. Or you eat applesauce, pudding, ice cream and jello type things for the rest of your life.

a blender. :]
but im confused. how can teeth cause ear infections?
i think you should see a dentist or another doctor just in case.
most doctors are suprisingly stupid.
my doctor says not to take medication when seriously sick, but he would still prescribe it. hm.
but yeh, there are ways. i remember my grand dad having them hard weathers original sweets when he had no teeth at all. amazing stuff.
good luck anyway!

you eat soft stuff-mashed potatoes, bananas,applesauce...and anything you can mush with your gums. if you want steak or something, you will have to puree it first.
