This happened last week. A teenager from around the neighborhood swallowed his denture together with the crown. It must be a two to four-tooth denture. I don’t think nobody can quaff a full denture. And it must be very painful.
The good news is the doctor was able to get the denture from down inside with forceps. The poor boy immediately asked after the denture was successfully taken out of his esophagus, “Can I eat?” He must have been starved to death because of the accident.
The story why it happened was very amusing. He was with his friends drinking beer and he got occupied playing with his denture and accidentally swallowed it. Pulutan* was probably missing:-).
*Pulutan is finger food.
2 to 4 dentures? Further proof that heavy drinking can cause temporary stupidity….. ooops, I drink too hehe. 😀

2-4 dentures seems like too big to be swallowed unless he’s that stupid….and i think he really is! 🙂 thanks for visitin my place. kayo po ba yung nasa pinoyatbp?

I know somebody who used to play with his partial denture so I can imagine how it happened to that teenager. And of course you’re not really thinking right if you’re already drunk. Forceps? That must have hurt.

Hahaha… I can imagine the lad doing a circus with the dentures in his mouth before swallowing it… I had a friend who did that for fun. He even lost one because he didn’t knew he vomited it with the rest of his taken food and beers when he got so drunk. 🙂 Come to think of it now, it was… yucky.

hi, single, i was told he has a 3-tooth denture. i agree very much that too much drink can cause shameful (and hurting, too) stupidity.
oh, hi, major! naks naman ang galang mo po, a! kumakain ka ba ng upo palagi? 😛 siguro nilalaro nya ang denture nya e lasing na, nawalan ng control. yes, ako yung nasa Pinoyatbp.
yea, irene. i think it hurts.
yucky indeed, rey, but if one is too drunk, wala nang alam na gross. 🙂

Unbelievable… lucky he did not suffocate. I don’t have dentures myself but would it have been loose? I see ads on TV about sprays that make dentures stick better on the gums.

dentures, especially full dentures, get loose after some time because the ridges change as one grows. i dont know about those sprays, bw.

It got stuck in the esophagus? Good thing the guy could still breathe. Had it gone straight to the stomach, he’d retrieve the thing from his crap. This leads me to a question: if it happened to you and you got it back from behind, would you still wear it?

For a sec I thought this was straight out of some urban legend. How horrible! Glad the doctor was able to retrieve it and that the kid didn’t suffer any serious internal damage.
