General Discussion

And I have had multiple experiences where in I have warned the caring individual that his or her dependent may reject the removable prosthesis, then being told that it will be all right, and then getting a phone call that the elderly person flushed the prosthesis down the toilet.

And then, of course, I am asked to remake the prosthesis at little or no cost to the patient which really is a hoot. And the bad part with all this is that when you make a partial or full denture, that which you’ve created to make it is destroyed in the process, so you can’t just remake it easily unless it was a scan, which is only coming into Vogue now. Even then, the laboratory fees are significant. It’s all a big mess.
