Anyone with Dentures
Ever had a tooth fall out? I feel like a first grader my botton center fell out today and my dentist is 500 miles away. ugg

yep.
i lost a bottom, front tooth to a particularly crunchy salad.
my dentist was an hour away but closed for 2 weeks vacation.
there was no way i was going to work looking like that.
the most local dentist wanted $4,000 and expected me to go 6 weeks with no teeth at all.
drove 4 hours - each way - to get the overdue dentures i could afford and get that day.

Did either of you collect from the tooth fairy? I broke the back part of my plate. Dentist said the lab could fix it, but I decided to get all new ones to make sure they fit correctly, and not have to go without the plate.

I am on my second set. My first set had one come out in the back. I had a new set made at the time. My dentist and my insurance pay for a new set every 5 years. This set fits much better than the first set fit. It may be a while before I do another set only because my dental practice closed when the dentist retired. So as long as these are doing well I will stick with these. They are sound and working well.

Dental problems are the worst. My dentist told me he has seen a drastic drop in young adults patients and that is a crucial age to keep healthy teeth in later years. Most of all his patients now are older most with major dental problems.

well my tooth didn't fall out, i broke it badly and had to have it removed. I have a pop in denture that stays in place nicely. took five months to get it and cost me at least $900.00! it better last me forever.
OH, your denture tooth fell out! wow. No, never had that happen. i would go back to the Dentist and complain very loudly and get it repaired at little or no cost if possible!! good luck.
