Every year around this time, the charity I work with tries to find a needy family or person to take care of for the holidays. We were made aware of a woman yesterday who is in need of having her dentures repaired. My understanding is the teeth are broken in two seperate pieces across the top and that the woman is not able to eat while wearing them. Can anyone recommend a denture repair person (for lack of a better phrase)? When we asked her about the person that made the dentures originally, the woman refused us his name because she said that she never paid the original bill.
The family member that nominated her emphazied their desire that the woman's dentures be repaired before Christmas dinner as they wanted to enjoy their holiday meal without seeing these 'false teeth' lying on the dinner table on a napkin. That broke my heart and I really want to help this family.
Any advice would be helpful.

It's called Karma.


My thoughts exactly. I applaud the group wanting to help someone out, but when they steal something as in this case the denture was essentially stolen (took it without paying for it) then no help should be offered to fix it IMO. Too many honest folks need help. If she stole a car and then wanted help fixing it, would they be as willing to help?
Thank you leo for bringing that up. But after at least 20 or so years, for most people things improve at some point and to some degree, at least for a period, IMHO. I am not saying I disagree at all with your comments, and I could not help but LOL at the Super Glue remark. Fortunately this is an annonymous forum and I am free to enjoy those comments without the risk of embarassment.
Thanks to dreamn for your suggestions but I was informed today that they have found a dentist (I assume) somewhere near Nashville that is retired and actually makes dentures in a shop he has set up in his backyard. Don't ask me how but that is what I was told.
Chillin&Grillin, please check your PM's.
