Dentures Protect

You've probably heard the saying, 'Take care of your teeth and they will take care of you.' Well it couldn't be more true for an 81 year old Brazilian bar owner. He was shot in the face during a robbery and doctors say his dentures deflected the bullet, keeping it from hitting the man's brain and killing him. Who knew the day he lost all his teeth was the luckiest day of his life?!
