If you don't get dentures or implants then some people blend up food like baby food. Babies eat blended up food without teeth.

So an adult can do the same. They make their food into baby food and eat it that way.

Or sometimes a person is able to just gum their food and eat it. Gums usually harden after losing teeth so that is another way to eat without teeth.
