I have dentures or what my Thai friends call copy-teeth! At times they are a pain (mentally, not physically) as I have been blessed with a lower gum line and it only takes one bite of anything to loosen the bottoms. OUCH, I know, this is more information than you need. When I first got them and had to go to a restaurant with a client or family, I soon learned to take a napkin, sneeze and flip out the bottoms. When the meal was over I would go to the men's room and re-glue the bottoms back in. Here in Thailand, I am not expected to have teeth because I am an old man (sometimes that is an advantage) so most people in my neighborhood are used to it and it makes life more convenient for me. When I do go outside my normal area, I make sure they are in. When my neighbors see me wearing them I will always hear. "Papa, where you go?" One time when I was up north, before my "nieces and nephews" knew I had false teeth, I came out one morning and looking worried, I opened my mouth and asked them, where are Papa's teeth? They all got so concerned and started looking everywhere. While they were busy searching for them, I put them in and soon they started to point at me shouting, "Papa, your teeth come back!"
It definitely is fun! I could wear a pink polka-dot t-shirt with horizontal green and yellow short pants and nobody would give me a second look. Perhaps foreigners like myself would take a double take, but the Thais would just not think twice. BTW, I don't have pink polka-dot shirts but I do have a blue one with bunnies on it! lol
