Hang on; I go private and have just taken out by Tescos Dental Insurance for £20 per month which is the cost of 2 checkups per year and 80% towards all private treatment. Would I be better off going with Denplan?

Going to sack him off, and send him a copy of Driller Killer as a leaving present, overdubbed with various choice phrases at key moments in the film. I don't think I can get into much bother for doing that can I?

sugar
avoid sodas (the worst for your teeth : acid + sugar) and candies/sugary stuff, brush your teeth and no more need to enrich dentists
apparently many can not understand this

Dentists create their own work. I would not have anything wrong with my teeth if it wasn't for the ones completely wrecked by huge fillings for tiny little cavities that probably would have healed anyway.

BTW, I used to live in a house which used to be a brothel which was handy getting the taxi home when pissed, just say the Blaue Eck and they knew exactly where to go

Sorry, it wore out!!
Ps - the surgery I worked at was next door to a brothel - I did get stoped a couple of times walking up the road after a late nigh surgery - once by a copper asking what I was doing.
Stange - still get strange men asking what I charge by the hour.......

Also just got back from the dentist (my son too, he had 2 wisdom teeth taken out) and she wasn't too sure what the problem was. Either take a wisdom tooth out or put me on anti-biotics for a few days and see what happens. You can guess what choice I took...

Originally posted by zara_backdog View PostI hope they advised here that RCT in Molars has a high rate of failure - especially wisom teath where the roots are hadley ever stright making it harder to remove the nerve. Also this makes the tooth more brittle and prone to breaking, so may have to have it crowned later on.
I knew 7 years as dental nurse would be handy sometime..
