Yikes, apples can definitely surprise you sometimes... I once bit into a sandwich and hit an olive pit—talk about unexpected dental drama. Do you think certain foods are riskier after dental work, or is it mostly just bad luck?

Totally agree, biting into something unexpected after dental work is a nightmare. Honestly, it's not just bad luck—some foods are definitely riskier. After getting braces tightened, even popcorn kernels felt like landmines... learned that lesson the hard way.

Ugh, totally relatable. I remember the first time I got a crown, I thought I'd be clever and stick to soft foods—went for a granola bar thinking it was safe. Big mistake. That sneaky hidden nut nearly sent me back to the dentist chair within hours. 😅 After that, I learned to be extra cautious for at least a week or two. Honestly, dental work recovery is just one of those things where you have to play it safe and take it slow. Hang in there though, it'll feel normal again soon enough.

Haha, yep, been there. For me it was biting into a slice of pizza thinking "what could go wrong?" Turns out crispy crust is NOT your friend after tightening. Hang tight though, it gets easier pretty quick.

Haha, pizza crust is sneaky like that. For me, it was biting into an innocent-looking sandwich—turns out toasted bread is secretly evil too. Stick with softer stuff at first... mashed potatoes were my best friend for a while.
