Brazilian authorities seeking to take a bite out of crime caught a lucky break when a purse-snatcher unwittingly left behind key evidence that led to the thief's arrest: his own dentures.
The robber grabbed a woman's handbag in the small town of Severina, about 430 kilometres (265 miles) from Sao Paulo, and managed to escape, victim Silvina Julieta Ferreira said.

The news quickly spread within the community, and the thief would have remained at large had it not been for an alert farmer who found the dentures and turned them in to police. Investigators promptly showed up at the home of 34-year-old Milton Cesar de Jesus, who was missing most of his front teeth.
"He was told to put on the dentures and they fit perfectly. You couldn't say they weren't his," town commissioner Aparecido Martins said. The accused was left without his false teeth once again on Friday, as police have taken the dentures into custody as evidence.

Periodontal disease, injury and tooth decay can all cause a loss of your natural teeth. However, we can bring back the smile on your face with dentures to restore your missing teeth. With improved technology and updated materials, dentists can now make them appear more natural and more comfortable for the patient.
There are two types of dentures: complete and partial. Complete dentures cover the patient’s entire jaw while partial dentures, with their metal framework, replace multiple missing teeth. Ask our doctors to see which type would be right for you.
It may take some time to adjust to your dentures. Speaking and eating may feel different at first, but these regular activities will resume normally once you are accustomed to your dentures.
