So this week for the first time in my life I suffered toothache, and found that it ain't much fun. In my 20's-30's I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed. The first was a bit of a trauma. But nearer my 30's they were crowding my mouth so I had the other 3 pulled. I was more relaxed & I found the more relaxed the less discomfort.
So yesterday, I rang up & had an appointment for noon today. I was quite surprised when the dentist Had a look in my gob & said," that one can come out, do you want it done now?" I said " ta".
He coked me up & 5 minutes later it was out. Easy peasy. I think at my age they are practically falling out anyway. He charged me £115, which was cheaper than I expected. I pulled the gauze swab out on my way home & no bleeding.
Have you lot got any dentist horror stories ? Daily Express Idiot ( surely Tuffers ) don't bother.

I am not as poor as you but we all like to save money don’t we? So I went to the dentist as to enquire how much for an extraction and the Dentist said £245.

‘How much? Can you not do it cheaper?’

He said ‘ listen Mr Lenny my parents sent me to private schools, funded me through University, Dental College then another three years for my PHD how can I do it cheaper?’

‘How much if the Dental Nurse did it?’ I asked

‘Well she won’t be as good but could do for £125, that barely covers the price of the anaesthetic!’

‘Can’t you do it a bit less?’ I asked how about without the anaesthetic?’

‘It will be possible he said but will be absolute agony, price will be a fiver’

‘ Great can I book my wife in for next Tuesday I said’

I think I know you, are you the guy with teeth like a hammer House of Horror film graveyard? Then again, come to think of it there are many of our supporters who look like that.
