DENTURES are frequently the butt of jokes - but they are rarely seen as funny by people who are newly fitted with them. Now a new brochure has been launched which answers many frequently asked questions.
The 12-page brochure from the British Dental Health Foundation allays a number of common fears including whether dentures alter the way a person speaks and eats as well as whether dentures change the shape of the face.
It also answers such questions as the difference between conventional and immediate dentures, what a new denture feels like, how they are made and why they are necessary.
'Tell Me About Dentures' features an easy-to-understand question and answer format which sets out information simply and clearly. The questions were identified from those asked on the BDHF helpline Word of Mouth (0870-333-1188).
The brochure is available by sending an sae marked 'DENTURES' to BDHF, Eastlands Court, St Peter's Road, Rugby, Warwicks, CV21 3QP.
Converted for the new archive on 13 March 2001. Some images and formatting may have been lost in the conversion.
