My dentist is lovely even though I can't pronounce her name.
The last one was even better, with lovely green eyes.
I don't care what they do to my teeth !
I just lay back and enjoy it.

My dentist is lovely, Spanish, looks very young for his years ( I think he may have had a little help here) gentle, lovely chair side manner and very highly paid by his patients!

My twin, or my dentist's twin!

:-D

My Dentist could be Gins Twin :-S

I hate 'floss' but I can get on with dental 'tape', its much smoother and I can manage to get it out of my teeth.

I had the same problem with floss, thought I was going to pull me buddy teeth out the first time I used it :-0

I also have a dental scaler....DIY job

I guess if you have almost no gaps between your teeth, it would make it hard to floss, therefor making it hard for food to get in too


.......eat an apple, my dad would say ;-)

I agree with you all about flossing, I find it nigh on impossible, no matter how much young Nana Mouskouri nags -my teeth are too closely packed. Those little interdental brushes are better, and you can get them in different sizes.

Ha Ha Merlin, they might be pink and gold and sparkly, that would make a change. Maybe Joy could stick them in for him, I have got a couple of tubes of Superglue. M

He should have hads a word with" Hayley", She,I,m sure has a few to spare.

Mine is useless, I only have three fillings, she is determined to make me need more. I always come out covered in blood, I can't understand a word she or her nurse say.

I had the same thing with floss, once in it is there for good and how are you supposed to get at the back ones yourself from the front ?

My husband also sees her, he thinks she is wonderful, he has the most awful teeth, every one filled, she never does a thing to him and he still has an emergency filling he put in himself on holiday a few years ago. I think she looks at him and thinks that once she starts she will be there forever, he wouldn't pay for all the treatment he needs anyway so she is on to a looser there. She tried to get him to have a crown a few years back and he refused, said it was too much and he wasn't going to pay that much. M

might be best to check your forgein dentists are really qualified

I had a Renfield's/Haemotolangia sufferer for a dentist at one time. When he gave you a scrape & polish, your mouth was left bleeding for hours.....he was really bad

Although my dentist has had a personality bi pass, I do trust him, I think thats important

Our dentist is fine and I never mind going to him. He even has a TV screen set in the ceiling so that we can concentrate on that rather than what is going on in one's mouth. :-D


Years ago, we had a Jewish dentist and he scared us to death. I'm sure he used and re-used very thick blunt needles.....arrrghhh. :-|

Mine's bl**dy useless - as is his hygienist. Come to think ofit they've all been useless.
For 3 years they nagged me to floss my back teeth - for 3 years i told them the floss got caught.
Eventually the hygienist (all of 18) asked me to show her. It took her 5 minutes to remove the floss :-0
She suggested I did it like this - and came at my mouth from the back.
I suggested I wasn't a contortionist and wouldn't be following her example.
Finally it was noticed (after I'd suggested it) that a bit of amalgam had spread from a filling to another tooth - so this had been there for 44 years (I only have 4 fillings, acquired when I was 12 - only needed 1, but the dentist decided to fill all 4 double teeth - 'just in case') and not one dentist had noticed it!!!
No wonder I don't like going!!

I do need to go and get the amalgam removed and the tooth refilled, but when I'm paying through the nose, when he starts on about my smoking, I will find it difficult not to mention his lack of observational skills - and he will have the drill :-P

Mine barely speaks English

She is from somewhere near Russia !!!

well shes not dead yet

and the crowns are still on :-D :-D

superglue!!!!!!!!

Arrrrrrrgh!

That poisonous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously!!!!

OH there on Tuesday - had a check-up and one small filling replaced - £59.
Wanted him to go to hygienist - OH got caught last time - says there was a time when a checkup including cleaning and polishing - how they want another £40 for it.

I asked him for a 'buy one get one free'...he almost smiled!

The dental nurse.....laughed

yes seams in those days
you could just arrive over here read a book
get some fake docs
and say yep im a dentist
and in india most barbers are also the local dentists


so glad thing have changed now for the better :-D

Cripes, Joy :-0
