;D ;D ;D at Davy.I only have one tooth on a plate. Sorry, I will rephrase that, I used to have one tooth on a plate. I have lost or broken so many of them over the past twenty years that I have now given up with a denture and just have a gap where my eye tooth used to be.The first was accidentally thrown out with toffee papers at Services on the M4. ::)Another one I left on the coffee table and the dog got it and crunched it into an unrecognisable state. >:(I lost and found one in the washing machine. :DOne or two have just gone missing. :-\One was run over by my car. It fell out of my bag when I was putting my grandson into his car seat. We drove off and I parked in more or less the same place when we returned and there it was crushed to smithereens in the road. :'(Now you would have thought I'd learnt my lesson after running one over, but we were in a queue coming out of Tesco and on our way to B&Q. My tooth was on my lap. I thought about putting it away in my handbag but then thought I would put it in again when we got to B&Q. The queue hardly moved so I suggested to OH that he got out and walked to B&Q whilst I took over the driving. You guessed it.......the tooth fell onto the ground unnoticed when I got out of the car to walk to the drivers seat. Five minutes later and after driving about three metres, I remembered the tooth, got out of the car, walked back a bit and there it was, run over again! ::)Why, you are asking, don't I keep the thing in my mouth? Well, I changed my dentist twenty years ago as my previous one retired. He is an excellent dentist but the plates that he has made me over the years have never really been that comfortable. Consequently, I only put the denture in when going out or receiving visitors. Each denture I have had replaced has cost me between £50 and £75, so it is not a cheap fix. Is anyone else going to own up to what they have done with their dentures? ;D ;D
It might be cheaper in the long run to have a bridge made! I couldn't stand my one tooth on a palate so my dentist fixed a bridge and it's been fine- lasted about 25 years before it need replacing!
