Dear Ann Landers,
t is obvious by your unsympathetic response to a recent letter that you still have your own teeth. I refer to the letter about the overnight house guest who accidentally lost her dentures in the toilet. They blocked the drain and a plumber had to be called. The question was whether to return them or keep quiet about the discovery. Your support of the no-return decision-to protect the friend from embarrassment-was full of cavities, Ann. Properly fit-ting, attractive dentures can be extremely costly. Frequent replace-ments are not looked upon kindly by dental insurers. It is possible that the dentureless friend is still toothless. You certainly were no help. The return of those dentures, with or without a kind note, would have been greatly appreciated. -R.S., Riverside, Calif.
