Dentures – more uses than meet’s the eye

Some of you may have read my more serious pages on the main Website about what to expect when getting Dentures for the first time .
Having now had them myself for some time, I would like to pass the following tips to you.

1. Leave them in a Glass on the Kitchen Window. ‘Chance’ burglars will see them there and assume someone is in.

2. When with cold, ensure they are firmly stuck with Fixative. One rogue sneeze and they’re on the other side of the Bus.

3. To quickly rid yourself of unwanted Guests, take them out and start dribbling continuously whilst talking. If this doesn’t work, throw the Dentures at them.

4. After taking them out, you often get that annoying bit of Fixative stuck in a crevis of the Plastic. I’ve found the No.4 attachment to my Hoover 562B model quite useful for this.

5. To stop that annoying whistling, simply don’t talk to anyone and ignore them completely.

Other Uses

1. Dentures can look very realistic in a Ventriliquists Dummy

2. Good for scraping stubborn stains off the Carpet (does not work with Chewing Gum)

3. If you have forgotton your toolbox, they make very handy lightweight Plyers

4. Use them externally and chop the food before placing in the mouth, similar to Chopsticks.

5. Old Dentures can be used as minuature seed trays.

My learning is ongoing in this subject and I hope to bring you some more red hot tips soon.
Before I go though, there are one or two things to watch out for which could have a detrimental effect to your personal wellbeing.

1. Bicycle Puncture Repair Adhesive is often in a similar tube to Fixodent. DO NOT MISTAKE THIS. I know someone who spent 4 hours on labour costs at Halfords.

2. Some foreign brands of Denture Cleaners are in small tablet form. DO NOT STORE beside the Cat Worming Tablets. My friend also made this mistake and is still going on the Litter Tray six months on.

Take care and remember – ‘Your body is only as good as your teeth.
