False pots - the time has come
Discussion
Hello people,
Yes, I'm talking about dentures. I've been steadily losing teeth to bone erosion for years. The dentist says it's down to to a combination of genetics and my being a lifelong smoker.
A couple of weeks ago, I got the kind of toothache that goes with a good left hook. Then, my front right lower incisor started flailing about. The pain/neuralgia continued so, after I'd been Conrad Poohs and his dancing teeth for a week, the offending item had to go...Deliverance time. Its neighbours are also pretty loose.My brother ( four years older) still has the set.
At 61, I have ten teeth in the upper deck (no molars left and wisdoms were tugged dec ades ago). Down in steerage, I've two molars left, three premolars and all the frontals less one. My ex calls her lower frontals her 'front bottom teeth'
I've to go the the dentist mid Jan. He's going to do an impression (Tommy Cooper?), so we go from there.
Soo there it is. Any hints, tips, tales or advice?

No-one at all with any of the last? My flabber has never been so gasted.

A better topic heading ie denture help required might be useful
I only opened your thread as I wondered what 'false pots' might be...I'm sure others wouldn't have been that intrigued.
I have a top partial denture, I lost a front tooth and probably as a result of many years smoking Marlboros - I can't eat food with it in place as it makes me gag.
