Donna - he was lucky I didn't bite it off - roflmao Maz. XX

Maz, I think you are a heroine. I'm just about due for a cap to fall off... ooooh, can hear it already! Deanna X

Hi Maz, I think the Dentist was very brave puting his Doodar in your mouth!!!! james

Hi ya Maz and I'm glad it's all over for you. It sounded like a dreadful ordeal- you poor bunny! The smoke thingy must have been horrendous!! Do you remember when I plucked up the courage to go to the Dentist at half term, just for a viewing?? Well my first appointment for actual surgery was 2 weeks ago when I had a tooth/bone extraction ( made sure I was put out but did come round during the ordeal!) I arranged the appointment for after 4 pm so I wouldn't have to miss work and ended up phoning in sick the next day due to the severe pain I was in afterwards!! I have suffered ever since, taking painkillers every 4 hours up until Saturday and enduring a huge bruise on my face. The kids at school where I work have tried to rub it off thinking it's paint! I go back this Thursday for some fillings-3 re-dos and 3 little white ones because I've brushed my teeth so hard over the years due to hating the dentist with a passion. They are going to sedate me again as I can't go through it all awake but I will now try my hardest to go regularly after this lot is over...it has cost me over 250 quid! Aileenx

Poor you, Maz. I hope you got a sticker saying 'I am very brave'. Not sure if its National Dentists Week, but my older son has just returned from the dentists, one of our teachers has an appointment today and a parent told me she'd just discovered an enormous hole in her daughter's tooth!! nell

Maz How brave of you i could never had done what you did, not in a million years Margaret xx

How awful, but well done you. :-) Joy

well girls I certainly wouldn't have attempted it if I'd known what to expect!!! James - no answer to that lol Maz. XX

Well now,,,dont you feel relieved and proud of yourself? Well done chick,

Yowch! gawd Maz, sounds out of this world! :)) hope things are ok with it this morning :)

You're braver than me, Maz! When I go to the dentist (major phobia!) the dentist prescribes valium - taken just prior to my arrival at the dentist and then the nitrace (laughing gas.) I sleep the whole visit! LOL! Judy

Had something like that done in November Maz,and went back two weeks later to have the moulding put in place,just you wait ,this next bit is painless and you can chew on it normally after a couple of hours .Fred.

I still don't feel very brave and I will still be shaking next time I go back! I was more scared at the dentist than in the wee small hours faced with a roaring fire in the street! Fred I can't wait to be able to eat at a decent speed again! This is on the side that I have to chew on - no back teeth at the top on other side - so I am really slooooow at the moment. Maz. XX

Glad you got back in one piece Maz! You were very brave and your father-in-law sounds like a real star :o) Helenxxx

Maz The doodah is called a GP point and the instrument he heated up to seal the plastic gp point in the root of your tooth is called a ball burnisher......... You were very brave, well done Maz.

thanks Rosi, sounds like you know rather too much about it!!! I certainly couldn't do your job! Maz. XX

Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth, And spotted the perils beneath, All the toffees I chewed, And the sweet sticky food, Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth. I wish I'd been that much more willin' When I had more tooth there than fillin' To pass up gobstoppers, From respect to me choppers And to buy something else with me shillin'. When I think of the lollies I licked, And the liquorice allsorts I picked, Sherbet dabs, big and little, All that hard peanut brittle, My conscience gets horribly pricked. My Mother, she told me no end, 'If you got a tooth, you got a friend' I was young then, and careless, My toothbrush was hairless, I never had much time to spend. Oh I showed them the toothpaste all right, I flashed it about late at night, But up-and-down brushin' And pokin' and fussin' Didn't seem worth the time... I could bite! If I'd known I was paving the way, To cavities, caps and decay, The murder of fiIlin's Injections and drillin's I'd have thrown all me sherbet away. So I lay in the old dentist's chair, And I gaze up his nose in despair, And his drill it do whine, In these molars of mine, 'Two amalgum,' he'll say, 'for in there.' How I laughed at my Mother's false teeth, As they foamed in the waters beneath, But now comes the reckonin' It's me they are beckonin' Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth. (Pam Eyres)

too late for that hun !! xxx
