FALSE TEETH
Throughout the ages, Artificial Teeth have been carved from Animal Bone, Gold, Silver, Wood, or Acrylic Resin to replace Teeth lost by Injury or Time.
After an accident caused my own partials to snap in half today, I returned to Parada Dentures to have an impression made for the fabrication of a new pair. While I wait for the new smile’s completion, I added a new update to my ASL Dictionary.
A cartoon of a grinning woman illustrates the ASL hand sign for DENTURES, compounding the signs FALSE and TEETH.
The index finger brushes off the side of the cheek for the untruth.
With the facial expression of a large smile, the X hand moves from one side of the mouth to the other, showing off the teeth.
