Tooth extraction

[Wilmslow]

Not the most pleasant of experiences.

Went to the dentist for a filling last night – they told me quick 10 secs to extract. The darned thing broke up, took them quarter of an hour of hacking about, they managed to take out a good chunk of the bone as well.

Good for weight watching though – I am hungry but cannot eat anything – living off sipping orange juice today.

Still, had a good evening tripping on codeine.

I had one break up when I was 20, they dealt with it in the same way.

two years later I got a toothache in the gap and the x ray showed that most the root had been left behind.
so they opened up the gum with a scalpel and the butcher of Arbourfield said, 'oh dear, i wasnt expecting that, it's fused'
He spent 90 minutes drilling around it through the bone before he managed to get it free. In the process he gave me twice the legal dose of something or other, 'enough to poleaxe a horse'

it was the worst pain I ever had and for a week I could tell if it was the postman or the milkman coming up the path, because one was heavier than the other. I felt every vibration on the planet through that drilled out jawbone.


good luck with yours

Cheer up, it's not as bad as listening to Chris Moyles.

Mrs Flubster has got her final bit of dental surgery tomorrow after two years of extractions, bone grafts(!), implants, crowns, bridges and veneers. Not a pleasent experience, having set me back £22k. Oh, and I think she had a bit of discomfort too.

I now have a golf ball in my cheek – to the point that people are looking at me asking what happened. Feeling very surreal today as we have a Christmas briefing in the atrium, so I am doped up on voltorol and codeine listening to Slade, Darkness and Bing Crosby.

Hope that there is another nice soup for lunch, as that is all I can handle

A retail clientco. All the branch managers are coming to the office over this week to get brainwashed ino the Christmas spirit, hence the mince pies, christmas cake and crimbo music being blasted out! Give me Chris Moyles instead.....

Why don't people have some sense and stop going to dentists? Not been for 15 years since I twigged what an utter con it all was.
