Was wondering if partial dentures can be re-used or donated in any way?

The funeral home required my moms when she died to make her face look correct.

I have heard, but don't know this for sure, that you shouldn't bury your loved one with a pacemaker still inside. That they can be re-used or something. Since it's not relevant to me, I don't remember the details. And the Lion's Club can take donations of eyeglasses. Good to know about the dentures though! Thanks, Pam, for that info.

thanks so much you guys!!! txcamper, i must be honest with you. My mother actually raised the question. I kind of went "ew" to myself but decided to post it anyway. LOL

Great question! I would have never thought about that.

Yes, dental schools will accept used full and partial dentures for use as teaching aids for dental hygienists. Call one near you or contact
