Creative Cuisine for the "Dentally Challenged"

The International Institute of Cosmetic Dentistry located in Bellevue, Washington, offers a post-dental-procedure meal plan for patients who feel they have limited choices for food following a dental procedure. Institute founder and president Aalam Samsavar, D.D.S., created recipes for his patients so they would have "soft" meal options which offer variety, taste, and ease of preparation.

After undergoing cosmetic dental work patients receive a booklet of recipes featuring cuisine from the United States, Mexico, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Selections include Afghani Pudding, Indian Vegetable Curry, Idaho Cheesy Mashed Potatoes, Italian Noodle Casserole, Mexican Avocado Soup and Szechuan Tofu and Spinach Soup.
