I love Pam Ayres

My mother had a flit-gun.
It was devoid of charm.
A bit of flit shot out of it.
The rest shot up her arm.

Never had a RC, but quite a few biggish fillings. Is a RC no more painful than a regular filling then - they can numb it sufficiently you don't feel anything?

During the procedure I mean - I don't mind pain afterwards but am really nervous of them jabbing the drill into my nerve!

Well I have to have about 3 injections for the first visit when they grind all the old crap tooth away and then pull the nerve out. The second one, when they get rid of the rest of the nerve (*) and put the temporary crown on normally only needs one and the last for the final crown I don't need any. I've never had any pain afterwards and as my dentist gives me enough injections for the first visit (she has tried with 2 but I could still feel something) then I also don't feel anything. I suppose it does help that my dentist is a larger older woman whom I'm tulip scared of


(*) Once on the second visit she started extracting the rest of the nerve or whatever they do with that rasp type thing without any injection, boy that hurt although she has done it without an injection and there was no pain, probably because the nerve had been fully removed.

Quite right too, it causes global warming or some such.

Or does it strangle haddock?

I can never remember.

You're thinking of AtW. Or was that ferrets?

Which bit of "inside the tooth" do you struggle to understand? Presumably the polysyllabic part

Ugh. I bet you don't use deodorant either.

[eek]

when are you getting your wisdom teeth put in ?

Why let facts and replies get in the way of a(nother) cheap dig....

Dormant bacteria?

Clean your teeth before going to the dentist it's not pleasant for them having bits of food, plaque and dormant bacteria all over the place while working. Bit of hygiene required.

I've had about 6 root canals over the past couple of years and lucky for me have not had any problems, needed no painkillers nor antibiotics. I'm about to have another 2, well actually 1 as my dentist said that in one of them the root has already been removed (which was news to me) and have to have an implant there. The other is just a straight root canal plus crown.

Nasty. I've had root canal treatment before and found that only ibuprofen + codeine worked. Hopefully it's working now because the antibiotics are starting to win the battle. Best of luck.

Codeine... In my experience, it may cure the pain in your mouth, but your arsehole will be in pieces after a couple of days...

Oh, I wish I’d looked after me teeth,
And spotted the dangers beneath
All the toffees I chewed,
And the sweet sticky food.
Oh, I wish I’d looked after me teeth.
