nokia Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 It's common for grannies in LOS to wear dentures , but how about the younger people, esp those living in Issan or other poor villages where dental hygiene is not emphasized? And do you mind if your partner is wearing dentures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiPauly Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 ###### dentures. Unfortunatley I am having two sets made for my mouth as I write. I wanted implants, and although originally my Dental Practice said I could have them apparantly there is not enough bone to fix them to. So I will have to have dentures. I had a set before but I could not get on with them. Now I will have no choice. On the up-side the cost of having virtually a whole mouth full of implants was around 675,000 Baht, the cost of a good NEW car, so I will be saving around 400,000 by not having them, but I hate the thought of putting my teeth in a jar before bedtime. My parents both had the at my age, so I guess I should not complain, I just don't FEEL old enough to have them, even though they will be Top Of The Range with Go Faster Stripes, sideskirts and spoilers!!!

skylar Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 the weird thing is wearing braces has become fashionable.maybe the next cool thing will be dentures. Braces has been fashionable in Bangkok at least since the early 90s... and it still hasn't gone away. I think dentures are still a little way off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayo Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I think I shocked some of my tv.com cheerleaders when I posted this photo of me without my front teeth a while back. I've had fake (denture) front teeth for nearly two years now, and I have every intention of getting implants, when there's more then 2 baht in my pocket. In the meantime, most girls I pass time with don't notice. when a young lady does spend he night, I do not, however uncomfortable, put them in my trusted glass of water. (although there was that one girl who pissed me off, who got to wake up to my dentures on her face) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotsman Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 My father inlaw has dentures but I could not find any denture glue in thailand so I have to take it over from the uk for him.

I haven't been there for a few years, but I wear dentures and bought some fixative ( the type in the tube - fixodent or something like that it was called ) in Boots the Chemist on the sea front road, somewhere near Mike shopping plaza, it was upstairs, I think, sorry this is a bit vague, but I hope it helps. Isn't there a Tesco in Pattaya now ? I thought they would have sold it. Out of interest, how much are a set of dentures in Thailand, anyone know ?

scotsman Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Thanks for that bit of info I have not found it in tesco lotus or anywhere else but I will give boots a try again, but the last time they did not have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think dentures are still a little way off I wore braces at sixteen then I had to wear a retainer for a bit last year and I hated it! I dont know why Thais find them so fashionable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftcross Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I had to have a denture for one of my dog teeth at age 20, with also two false front teeth stuck in on metal pins after someone knocked them out. the denture was annoying and uncomfortable and about five years later another dentist put a bridge in. the teeth look better than the originals! i havent had any problems with them since. have you tried that option?

What it will mean is that with a reconstructed mouth, it might decide to talk some sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
