Great pick. As for your tale, I immediately thought of my late father. He, too, avoided the dentist for most of his adult life. He finally did have a problem that forced him to go. When he turned in his paperwork to the technician she asked why he skipped the question about the last time he had his teeth x-rayed. He replied that there was no such thing as dental X-rays the last time he went to the dentist. Hope all goes well in the chair, Swede.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321051045499549249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522017207239490912.post-86641453037430078692016-04-26T14:41:30.494+01:002016-04-26T14:41:30.494+01:00Hi Nasreen.

I've always looked after my teeth though and visited the dentist regularly until my horrendous experience in 1983. If that one rotten tooth had given my any bother in the ensuing 33 years I would certainly have set aside my fears much earlier. Interestingly, my Mum died at 77 without one of her original teeth left, yet my Dad died at the same age with a complete set intact. I guess I must take after him more than her in that area.The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522017207239490912.post-20602538260289093342016-04-26T14:05:50.679+01:002016-04-26T14:05:50.679+01:00Sounds like your teeth held up pretty well for all...Sounds like your teeth held up pretty well for all the time you waited, though. <br /><br />My dentist says that in the end, it's most luck and a little bit genes. As soon as I heard that, I went back to chewing aluminum. <br /><br />Seriously, though, I hope that abnormal abstraction goes okay. With the right dentist it's all rarely as bad as we fear.

I do sympathise... but it will all be over soon and you'll be able to wear a dental badge of honour. Wishing you the best of luck - it sounds like you'll be in good hands and I do think dentistry has come a long way in 30 years too.<br /><br />A few years ago I had to have a tooth near the front extracted and replaced with a permanent false one - through no fault of my own, I'd maintained my teeth well! - root canal and bone extraction, the lot, the whole process took several few months and cost me nearly £1000! But I dined out on it for a few weeks and awarded myself an imaginary medal, so it wasn't all bad ;-) Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522017207239490912.post-66529715725918768792016-04-26T10:01:22.997+01:002016-04-26T10:01:22.997+01:00Funily enough I visited the dentist yesterday for ...Funily enough I visited the dentist yesterday for my routine 6 months inspection and clean.<br />10 mins later I was out into the sunshine. All clear and that nice clean tingling feeling. 65 euros lighter. So that makes it 6.5 euros a minute. 390 per hour. If he does 37.5 hours a week that means 14,625 per week. Now that is only a week....you do the maths. I am in the wrong job. No wonder he has a top of the range Range Rover parked outside.Old Pa's Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367815328789444775noreply@blogger.com
