How do you check what you have already said ??

You could follow the link to "I'm on", which lists your past posts (they eventually fall off the end of the list, but if it was reasonably recent, you will find it) Or you can put "tooth on a plate" or a distinctive word or phrase that you remember using in your post into the search box that is near the top of the page, beside your Inbox.

I dont mean recent, I mean all history ...

Thank you

Serendipity22 , I am laughing even before you post your message........

I don’t know that repeating yourself is a bad thing, Serendipity, given that half the time I can barely remember my own name, let alone anything else! ?

I don't think it matters if a subject is repeated or if an old thread is resurrected. There will always be one of the Miss Marples on here that will tell you, but if people are commenting then there is interest.

Which tooth and what did you do?

Stupid me only JUST come back to this... IM BLAMING THIS FLIPPIN HEAT SENDING ME GA GA.

Right this is the story.. i dont know what heading to give it.... maybe HAS ANYONE LOST A TOOTH?!?!?!?!?!

OK here goes.

The dentist pulled a tooth, top right.

I thought AHHHH I DONT WANT A GAP so I asked the dentist to put a tooth on a plate ( couldn't have a bridge, dunno why)

Da-da the day arrives for my visit the dentist to collect my new tooth OHH LA LA.

Fast forward a few months we are on holiday and I forget now who it was, but someone offered me a pice of CHEWING GUM!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I NOW know that chewing gum should be avoided as much as standing in front of a bull !!!

I put the chewing gum in my mouth and was instantly stuck, the plate with my lovely new tooth was encased in chewing gum and all ability to chew was met with a mouthful of gunk ...
horrendous.

I went to the first toilet I came across with the notion of getting the plate OUT of my mouth, scraping the flipping gum OFFFFFF and throwing it down the loo ( the gum NOT the plate)

AND HERE LIES THE BAFFLEMENT OF THE NEW OHH LA LA TOOTH.

I literally have noooo idea what I did with the plate, I remember scraping the flippin chewing gum OFF but what I did with the plate with my lovely OHH LA LA tooth on, I do NOT know.

I gets back to the hotel later in the day anď thinks OHHH WERE DID I PUT THAT PLATE??? search search, search...... GONE.

Fast forward a month later when I am sat ( or laid ) in the dentist chair.

I looked at him ( the dentist ) and said YOU DIDNT WARN ME ABOUT CHEWING GUM DID YOU!!!!!!!!!! of course didn't have a CLUE what I was rattling on about, so I told him from thread to needle AND THE DENTAL NURSE AND ANYONE ELSE WHO CARES TO LISTEN.

I now have ANOTHER OHH LA LA tooth on a plate ( This flippin tooth has cost double ) and as for eating chewing gum well..... i let you guess THAT 1 !!!

Phewwwwwwww

I’m in the process of having an implant fitted, I’m nearly there now. I had one done twenty years ago, the best thing I ever did, so when I lost this tooth (how I lost it is a very long story) but I decided to get a second implant. And on 12 th September the rather long process will come to an end when my new crown is fitted to my implant, and I’ll no longer have a gap.

Ahhhh, an implant. Is that on NHS or private? I am guessing private.

My tooth on a plate was £250... and then another 1 to replace the lost 1 .... ( grrrrrr ) £250.... so 1 tooth cost £500 !!!!!!

If you're having an implant you can chew chewing gum till the cows come home ???????

It was never like this in the olden days when grans took their dentures out and laid them in their hanky on the arm of the chair, was it?

My implant is being done privately although I’m lucky enough to have an NHS dentist for my normal tooth care.
I know I can eat chewing gum with my (what will be) two implants, but I don’t like it, so won’t eat it anyway.

I did have a little plate for a couple of years after I lost this latest tooth, but I didn’t like it, so went for the implant. I think my plate cost about £250, the same as yours.

Ohhh ha ha yes they were whipped out and placed anywhere around the house. When i was a carer i saw more false teeth than the dentist himself, most of em in a solution of pink liquid, in a plastic container mug, cup even a cut glass vase !

Its funny ,( ha ha ) because when my DD was about 4 or 5, we were at my mum n dads and my gran lived with them they were helping my gran to bed and my mum gave my DD my grans teeth wrapped in a tissue and said " Put those in the toilet please." Meaning the bathroom.

So my DD did as she was asked, put the teeth in the toilet.

My mum hunted high and low in the bathroom for the teeth, no teeth to be found, until she spotted them looking up at her from the bottom of the toilet. haaaa.

Thats been a source of enlightenment for years.
