On the other side of the world, another elderly’s attempt to save her dentures didn’t go so well. 85-year old Grandma Zhang of China tried to fish out her dental prosthetic when it fell into her toilet, but her arm got stuck. Fortunately, local firefighters were able to get her out of the mess. Over in Concord, CA, those with their own sets of false teeth may have been tempted to do similar stunts or actually pursued it. The question is: when you’re able to salvage your dentures from a garbage bin or a toilet bowl, could you really bear to wear it again? More importantly, won’t you encounter problems, especially concerning your health?

Dentures are wearable plates that hold a patient’s teeth together. These are commonly used by older individuals who have lost their natural teeth due to their advanced age or disease. Lower dentures tend to become loose because of the constant movement of the lower jaw when the patient eats or speaks. Sturdy denture implants were developed to securely anchor dentures to the jaw but there are situations wherein these implants may cause more harm than good. In an article for Dental Health Advice, Dr. Richard Mitchell, BDS explains how mini-dental implants can save the day. When size matters… in a small way There are no standard dimensions when it comes to patients’ bone structure or size. If a patient’s jawbone is slightly smaller than the rest, it would require a smaller implant to anchor his/her dentures without causing any damage.

Smiling does not only make you beautiful, it also helps bring in more friends and life opportunities. Losing one or more of your teeth, on the other hand, can spell disaster to your relationship, job, and business.

Because your false teeth is made of a different material, you may have to take extraordinary measures to care for it compared to when you had complete permanent ones.
