when i was younger i once saw my grandmother take her dentures out while getting ready for bed. i used to think that at a certain age we could take our teeth out of our mouths, and i would try it everyday. finally, after about a month or so of me trying to take out my teeth my father asked me what i was doing , so i told him i was trying to take out my teeth, and asked when htey would come out whole like grandma's.
