FALSE TEETH REPLACEMENT
Claims To Board In Glasgow (Special Correspondent N.ZJ’JI.) LONDON, June 27. A man who was out fishing !q a boat dropped his false teeth into the water. When he claimed for a replacement, he told the dental service: “As the loch U said to be 300 feet deep at that point, I thought It wise not to go in after them." This is one of the stories which appear in the annual report of the Glasgow National Health Executive. Other extracts from letters claiming replacements are: “My dentures are very much better when I leave them on the workroom bench for a few hours." “When I have my teeth in, I can't walk straight or close my hands properly.” "My denture hurts me in the centre of my forehead.”
“When I walk in the wrong direction, I get a headache and my teeth jump out.” Other sets of teeth were put into washing machines and sent to the laundry. One was “interred with a corpse.”
