Pancakes with sliced bananas are a suitable food choice for patients on a dental-soft diet because this diet requires foods that are very easy to chew,require minimal chewing,or allow the patient to eat without teeth.Scrambled eggs are appropriate,but not the bacon.Toast requires chewing,which is unacceptable on the dental-soft diet.Cooked pasta with meat sauce would be allowed on a soft diet but not on a dental-soft diet for which chewing may be a problem.
