'fess up, who wears dentures?

[GrumpyGregry]

Many, many years ago a molar tooth was forcibly removed on the rugby pitch. I paid ££££'s for a fancy dan up-to-the minute tech replacement fake one. It lasted a few years then mysteriously failed one Sunday morning while I was eating a mint imperial. I paid somewhat less £££'s for a replacement fake one using more affordable old school technology. This lasted even less time that the first.

SWMBO has complained ever since about the gap in my smile and a year ago I had to have another molar tooth extracted on t'other side of my mouth. So now at 50 I am the proud, or is that ashamed, owner of a denture from the NHS. Fair play the practice did a sterling job at trying to sell me again all manner of private and very expensive fakes but I was resolute.

The dentist promises me the lisp and the dribbling and the gagging sensation when eating will fade in time.....

My molars are crenellated but I've resisted the temptation to spend shedloads on bridges and the dreaded plate. Let me know how you get on Greg, if it's too bad I'll end up eating soup and lettuce.

I was assaulted outside school by an ice cream seller about 38 years ago and have had a bridge since then, in fact it's not even a bridge because one side detached itself many years ago, but it's still hanging on in there.

Can't understand why SWMBO would complain about you smiling, she should be so lucky!!!!
(And if that's all she has to complain about, well...!!!)

I can't wait 'till they've proved that stem cell teeth work.

I have a small bridge - a client/dentist had it made for me 25 years ago and it's still goung well.

I had it stained smoke and tea browny/white so it would fit in with the rest of me gnashers.

Terrible decision Greg - it's 'A bridge tooth ah!' First pectoral implants, now a tooth - you'll be wearing Shutt stuff on rides next! Hope it settles in well and that you don't wear the mirrors out.
