False teeth

[dickymint]

Just got my first full set of chompers! Had false uppers for years and been waiting for my last couple of lowers to fall out.

Bought an apple and a packet of pork scratchings for later

Let me know if you find anything better than Fixodent to hold them in place.

On the plus side- no more dental bills and no more tooth ache

I’d almost forgotten where my Strongbow came from

I have to slice apples.

Oohhh corn on the cob has to be next on my list. I’m fed up with trying to look posh and slicing the buggers off with a knife

Before or after the first pee?

How much are a full set of dentures nowadays?

I've been quoted €12k for cosmetic dentistry locally, and although there's nothing wrong with my teeth apart from being crooked at the front, and it's a confidence thing, I'm sure dentures must be cheaper?
I'm 49.....

Not very expensive even privately.

Unless you have an underlying issue like gum disease, I would try and work with what nature has given you.
My teeth gradually went through a combination of decay and gum disease, I soldiered on with a few that held plates/ dentures in place for a while but eventually they gave up too.

If you remove teeth and don’t replace them with something permanent then the others will loosen and try to fill the missing gap and then loose their structure. A bit like taking a keystone out of a brick archway.
