Post subject:  Denture Adhesive
I use to be an awesome singer (I sang for the Prime Minister of Greece when our flag ship was hosting a beach party for all the VIPS) But I quit smoking 5or 6 years ago and I think that gradually done something to my vocal chords. I have to sing 2or 3 songs to get them loosened up.

But my main problem is most of my teeth fell out and mnow I have a full set of dentures. Ok i TEEL YOU IT IS EMBARRASING to open your mouth wide to start "Dayo" and your upper teeth fall down and click on the lowers. Also it is hard to sing while holding them up with the tip of your tongue!! So is there any old timers out there that can recmmend a good adhesive that will work for about 4 hrs. hold up to dayo and maybe 3 or 4 rum-n-cokes?

Now if there is anybody still reading this with a straight face ur too serious for me. :lol:

Karyoker,
Polygrip has an extra hold formula of a denture adhesive cream.
The only problem with an adhesive cream is that when you take your dentures out, or when they become loose on thier own, you have a mouth full of gook that has to be removed before you can reapply more adhesive and put your dentures back in.
An easy way to remove the majority of this left over gook is to smash a few crackers in your hand, chew on them for awhile, spit them out, and repeate.

My advice is that you try a powder adhesive. Fixodent makes one.
A powder adhesive won't hold as well as a cream, and it won't hold as long, but it is SO much easier to rinse and wipe off, and then reapply than a cream. 2 min in the restroom and you'll be ready to go again.

Most people have more problems with thier lower dentures loosening up than they do with thier uppers loosening up.
If and when this happens, just take them out. You probably won't have too much trouble singing with out them.

I would also like to recommend that you try to learn to sing without dentures. If you can pull this one off, and push comes to shove, (say that you forgot your adhesive for example), you could sing without your dentures and hide behind the mic.

Good Luck!
Kojak

Karyoker, I have been on this board for some years and let me tell you, You are the bravest and most candid poster I have ever seen.

I did keep a straight face thru your post. My mom's family have terrible teeth(It runs in the genes) My late fathers mother is in her 90's and still has her teeth, My father still had his when he died at 62(except the one top front tooth he lost in a bar fight in 1972).

My mom lost her teeth in her late teens, And a few of her brothers lost theirs in their 20's. My mom now has Implants which are a dream, But they are super expensive. I'm missing 2 lower teeth way in the back on the left side. back in 97 I had a removable bridge made but it gave me so much trouble I stopped using it after a few tries. Luckily my few missing teeth are so far back in my mouth it doesn't effect my ugly smile.

I feel for you brother, Keep On Truckin' , BJC

I take it this was a HA HA HA?

But seriously this happened the other night!!!!!!! So no, I didn't have a straight face reading it, I just kept thinking of the guy who while singing "Ain't Going Down Til The Sun Comes Up" was running after his teeth across the stage!!!! :lol:

I got hit by a car while crossing the street a few years ago. I lost my upper front teeth and the lowers are literally screwed in. I'm gettin' around to replacing the uppers. Thanks to this post, I think I'll opt for implants.

P.S. - The only advantage of not having the upper fronts is I got to convincingly sing "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth" for two years straight. With any luck I can scrap that song this comming Christmas.

Well Karaoker, You got the reaction. Are you happy with the reaction?

Anyone can lose thier teeth for a multitude of reasons. I thought I was responding to a genuine post concerning singers with dentures

I didn't think it was a joke.

Ever thought of Krazy Glue?... :shock:

(Tiny Teehee... :lol: )

I have an old Ukranian buddy who, with enough libations, would use his choppers as catenettes. He was a scream at parties. :wink: One time he got sick, lost his teeth along with his lunch in the toilet. He grabbed them choppers and put them in BLEACH...that's right. He complained afterwards that his gums burned for days...go figure :?

OK, This thread is being used as a joke to the unfortuneate people who have lost thier teeth for whatever reason.

I didn't realise that this was funny.

Matt, You have a welcome opinion. Wake up tomorrow with no teeth from a horrible car crash and check back in with your new opinion.

I am 64 I have a full set of false teeth which I paid for and I was in in the military form 1960 to 1969 Now if You want to argue about something tell me why the Va doesnt have enough money to take care of their Vets.
But there seems to be enough for the illegals...

When I have a long gig I sometimes use poligrip and have to pry them out with a crow bar..

And I didnt even mention all the war wounds or talk about Jane Fonda or anybody. I dont argue about petty things unless I am defending a helpless cute little gal with a big butt and a heart to match...:D

Lighten up, Big J. If we can't laugh at our own infirmities and life's setbacks, we're taking ourselves way too seriously. Life's too short to be serious about it.

My husband John was playing a gig, and while he was singing "Unchained Melody" and getting into it with his eyes closed onstage, the lead guitarist took out his partial and set it up on top of John's mic stand drink holder. John opened his eyes halfway through the song and saw this tooth in front of his face. He couldn't complete the rest of the song without gasping for air between the guffaws.

Prosthetic hands: Gimme a hand over here, would 'ya?
*tosses hand over*

Wooden leg: What do you call a woman with one leg? A: Eileen.
What do you call a woman from Japan with one leg? A: Irene.

Glass eye: I have a friend who was blinded by a gunshot wound to the face in the early 70's. He now has two glass eyes. Every once in awhile when we're out in public we'll have to nudge Patrick to tell him that one of his irises have disappeared when it has rolled backwards in its socket. When he gets looped at a private party and knows he won't offend any of the people present, he'll pop one out, hold it out to somebody in the palm of his hand and say, "Hey, I'll keep an eye out for you!"

Big butts: That's me all over. I like to consider myself McDonald's version of the Victorian Woman...Rubenesque, and Super Size it!

The alternative to laughing about misfortune is crying. I'd rather laugh.
