CONTEST LOOKING FOR DENTURE-WEARING ROLE MODELS

CONTEST LOOKING FOR DENTURE-WEARING ROLE MODELS

CHICAGO (Wireless Flash) -- Now here's a contest you can really sink your teeth into: a search for the most inspirational denture-wearer in America. The contest -- sponsored by Fixodent denture cleanser -- is being held to dispel the myth that all denture-wearers are feeble old folks. Some of the more unusual nominees so far include... -- A woman who lost her teeth at age 16 and had to get a full set of dentures when she was just 20 years old. -- An 80-year-old woman who skydives and parasails with her false teeth in -- although she did lose her dentures on one dive. -- There's even a 77-year-old man who doesn't let his dentures get in the way of singing in a choral group called the "Y-nots." The deadline for the denture contest is November 15, and the winner will receive $10,000.
