    Just a minor winge, just to get it off my chest. You remember me telling you about my dental work, well now another tooth has broken! So in my poor mouth I currently have one tooth with no filling and one tooth broken in half and sharp! I no I should go get them fixed, but this could cost in the region of £80 and some, and to be honest, with Christmas spending, I don't have £80 or more to blow on my gnashers. Fortunately both teeth have no nerves - root canalled out some time ago, so I shouldn't get any pain, but the sharp one is catching my tongue. GGRR!

    Winge over. :)

    EJ not nice. Would he charge to have the edge taken off the broken tooth. Bet he would.... Its a disgrace really all them Dentists going private. It costs us £10.10 a month to be on our Dentists books. Is there not a Dental Unit within Chelmsford Hosp? for emergency? Don't cut your tongue up too much.

    Of course he would charge Carol, these buggers don't do something for nothing, and as far as they would be concerned, I would use an appoitment slot which could be filled with a paying customer. I don't know if there is a dental unit at the hossy - I might give them a call. Mum says I will get used to it, which I guess I will, but you know what it is like, I can feel it, so my tongue keeps wandering over it.

    Ouch...not the kind of thing you want happening at this time of yesr. I used an fingernail emery board to 'file' a sharp edge off one of my teeth a few weeks ago - much cheaper than a visit to a dentist if the tooth has no nerve in it.
