I've never asked before but I do need some courage now. I am terrified of the dentist & I have been trying to forget all day that this afternoon I have to have a front tooth removed & a plate fitted. I am shaking but it has to be done. Appointment is at 3:10 so please send me some thoughts Vivienne |

Hi Vivienne, My thoughts are with you. As people said to me the other week, it is the anticipation that is the worst part. Once you are there and 'putting a brave face' on for the dentist you will be OK. take care. Ann Glos |

Hi Vivienne, By the time you read this, your ordeal will be well and truly over, and I hope it wasn't as bad as you feared. I've had dental problems since the age of 11, including two in-patient ops, but fortunately I've never had a problem with having treatment. I always look upon it that things will be worse for me if I don't have the the treatment, so even if it hurts, I just hang on and bear it. I've always found toothache before dental work far worse than any residual pain later, but we all have different tolerance to pain, so I hope you've not had too much of a problem and will be feeling more comfortable very soon. Best wishes, CB >|< X |

Hi Everyone, Thank you so much for your thoughts. I've been home for a while but there's been some sort of problem with the computer. Not Genes this time, I don't know what, just kept being told the programme had performed an illegal operation. I'm ok but things didn't go as planned. One front tooth was veneered many moons ago & it had deteriated badly. I wasn't in pain but it was very loose & biting was uncomfortable so my dentist said it would be better to remove it & fit a plate. It was all supposed to take place today, tooth out, plate in but the lab let us down so I will be walking around with my lips firmly clamped together for a couple of days. The plate should go in on wednesday afternoon. Thanks again for your thoughts Vivienne |

Bless you Dawn, I thought I had been forgotten. My problems are nothing compared to others. Yes, I have the plate fitted & I'm 'gagging' for Britain. Somehow I've got to get used to it cos it's a front tooth but I'm feeling horrible at the mo. I had no problems when the tooth came out, no pain or anything but now I've got a splitting headache. Thank you so much for thinking of me Love Vivienne |

Good luck with the plate, I would be like you! I am terrified of having one. What am I talking about..I'm afraid of DENTISTS! I used to have a great one, but he went back to Canada. Deanna |

Thank you Sarah & Deanna, The head is a little better now, maybe it had as much to do with the heat as to this foreign body in my mouth. My dentist is a lovely lady Deanna but I have been petrified of the dentist since an awful school dentist in the 50s made some nasty errors! I won't go into details but these days we would have sued for what she did. She was Austrian & we as kids used to think she was a Nazi. Vivienne |
