Hi Esther,
you may be able to make your own dental moulds
using 'Alginate' which is available through many craft moulding supplies:
See: http://www.cfsnet.co.uk/acatalog/CFS_Catalogue__CRAFT_MAKING_22.html
or
http://www.tiranti.co.uk/data/ASP/showsubdivision.asp?SubDivisionID=189&SubDivision=Alginate+%2D+Normal+Set
you just need some way to hold the stuff in place
whilst it setts. I have never done a set of
teath, but often done faces, hands and feet.
Disclosing tablets used to be readily available from Dental section of Boots.
But if not, I am sure that your local dentist
would be able to help. Mind you I guess they
would most probably have a set of plaster teeth as well.
cheers
