How do you swallow?

^ what she said

Dentures? :noway: How?

Disappointed.

My husband used to swallow nickles. We have an x-ray showing the loose change.

I've swallowed a tooth once... but I can't see swallowing the lot...

True story... I knew someone who died from this.

I imagine they meant partials, not full dentures.

I'm left feeling let down

This is NOT the thread I thought it was going to be....

disappointed as well.....*walks out* \m/

tease...and not the kinda tease I was hoping for lol........

"A review study from Germany, published in the journal Deutsches Arzteblatt International, recently identified the three items most likely to be inadvertently swallowed by adults. First on the list was fish bones followed by chicken bones, neither of which seem that unusual. The third most common item was dentures, which may loosen up in an older person's mouth while eating."

:ohwell:

believe me, it's common , one or two artificial teeth on an acrilyc plate may be swallowed while drinking liquid, specially if the said liquid is being poured from a little above into mouth! requires an emergecy esophagoscopic retrieval under general anesthesia!! seen enough of them in emergency room. one required major surgery, cutting open the chest as the teeth or hook along with it had permeated through the esophageal wall!:grumble:
