Who know how I lost them! Believe it was my love of popcorn. "Reclining" in the evening and munching. Gets stuck between the teeth and because I live alone and the dog doesn't care, I sometimes remove the teeth and use a toothpick to clean them. Then I lay them down on a paper towel to take to the master bathroom at bed time later. 'course I throw out the popcorn bag, etc. before I retire so I can only think I grabbed the towel with teeth and tossed it. Went to put the garbage out for collection first thing in the am....well, you get it! By the time I was ready to groom myself for the day, the garbage had been picked up!
I looked for them for days; every pocket, under every stick of furniture, the fridge, the kitchen drawers, the dog bed, the car ? (hey, I was desperate).
Also I am a Medicaid client and guess who stopped covering dental this year?? So I might have had to go without! Fortunately I found a company that gives interest free loans for such medical, dental and even veterinarian issues.
These are "loaners" for the weekend and will go back for more work on Monday.
So the denture is a new one, but wearing one is not!

I'm so glad, Tonnie! The year after I first got them I adopted a Harrier hound with problems and she went for my teeth! She actually would not let me take them from her and went to attack me! Wonder what it is about them? Maybe the smell of the owner? Mine were repaired as best - but were never very goo so after all these years, I'm glad to have the new ones! (Clyde, back off!)
