i had the BIGGEST two front teeth bar none , how they blighted my life (youthful!), geezer starts on me in a pub (glasgow ,1980) long story short , wiv his 1st and as i remember , only punch he removed said teeth flush with the gum(s) >serious pain and then some ,! dentist removed nerves and fitted the most level "normal" ordinary 2 teeth ever! , out of conflict came a result! thou i have pondered if nasty man had to go to his own dentist and ask for (my) teeth to be removed from his fist ? i think dentists are pretty close to gods ! cos they can stop pain !
They can , but i just want them to get it all over and start going for normal check ups now , without all the filling filing , removing and replacement , its doin me head in
Chrisradioman has a close friend who is into alternative therapies - he'll smack your front teeth out with a beer bottle even when you don't ask....
That bits sorted cheers for the offer moons its getting one back in and fillings replaced that i need sorted , i did all this last year - grrr
Just been again for the 5th time since i started this thread. I have to now have four back teeth removed next time before i can have my new front tooth because its cheaper to have it made with my other plate, i will be pooping it i am truly afraid of the dentist.
Ive given up mine just sees £££££££s when i go. £1200 last lot of treatment and i lost a tooth ta boo. Poxy root canals n white fillings , they dont last either when your chewing toffees . Ive given up he put a temp in last time coz he WAS going to do a ceramic filling /cap ting, but i couldnt go ,and this temp has lasted longer than a real one. Hate um used to like gas when i was younger though, had some nice dreams ;D
Toffee bonbons were the demise of my fillings too Barney. I'm a sucker (literally) for toffee. But they pulled out my fillings and as I was a coward i never went back to get em fixed and thus got infected... yadda yadda yadda Theyre expensive but my dentist now is lovely so i attend as required now. Its just a case of getting a good dentist.
its the pork scratchings that breaks must of mine but I'm not give them up I'll suck them when I have no teeth to bite with.
Refresher chews, milk chews, highland toffee, drumsticks etc...i bloody love em. But I must refrain from eating them now as my fillings cost me a packet and I ain't willing to risk em. Yes Eve my Dentist is quite nice and they have scenes from Pooh with Tigger etc on the ceiling to relax me... The wonderful thing about Tiggers Is Tiggers are wonderful things Their tops are made out of rubber Their bottoms are made out of springs They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy Fun, fun, fun, fun, FUN! But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers Is I'm the only one....
At least it's cheaper ) Like Baydreams, I went in my mid to late teens, then didn't go again for nearly 20 years, then it was another 3 years where I got two fillings on the NHS. Then I moved over here..... Two fillings last month Consultation and CT scan for removal of wisdom teeth last week (three to come out, lower right hand one has grown sideways rather than up, so the maxillofacial surgeon sent me to his other practice for a CT scan the next day to make sure that it wasn't doing anything else naughty). Removals are this Friday - I already have a tab of Valium to take before hand, then I'll be knocked out for the surgery. After that, I think I have to go back to the regular dentist for a crown. And our regular dentist isn't on the wife's employer dental plan, so out of pocket etc - luckily, the maxillofacial is on the plan, so only have to pay $342 instead of the full $1,700. The dentist did say that, in general, I have great teeth though ;D
Just had five big teeth taken out , a filling removed and replaced , no new tooth and plate for 3 month's , how am i going to eat
