Survivor Contestant “Embarrassing Moment” Could Have Been Avoided

Dr. Steven H. Tsuchida DDS. from Orangevale Dentistry says a “very embarrassing” moment could have been avoided for one of the contestants on CBS’s “Survivor” Show last week.

During the episode which aired Wednesday April 17th, 2013 the contestant named “Dawn” had an unthinkable event happen. The retainer, holding her false teeth fell out, while taping. Out of nowhere, Dawn is heard screaming, crying and yelling. While swimming alone she opened her mouth and her teeth slipped out and into the water, causing her to break down in hysterics and declare that if she couldn’t find them she would take herself off of the show. She was so embarrassed that she was unwilling to continue competing. She explained that due to an accident years ago, she lost her lower front teeth and has been wearing the retainer.

Dr. Steven Tsuchida of Orangevale, CA notes that while this was a sad, unfortunate situation for Dawn, it was easily avoidable. “There are many options available to replace missing teeth. Dental implants, fixed bridgework or a well fitting custom partial denture could have prevented this “survivor” from the emotional torment she experienced,” says Dr. Tshcuida.
