UK dentists are ok... Problem now is that for a while, it was easy to get free treatment on the National Health Service, but Govt made changes to dentists contracts, and the majority of them stopped accepting new NHS patients. If you go to a private practice at short notice, it'll cost a small fortune - hence the scare stories about home dentistry. But in comparison to rest of the world, there's plans available for a few shekels a month, so still pretty reasonable really. We just get used to not paying for health/dentist care in Britain.

And a tip - drink whisky after having a tooth removed. Works a treat.

That's way too sensible a post...

Is that tip from the book of the home dentistry manual revised edition?

Sadly not (although that surely has the makings of a bestseller). Took a flight the day after having 2 wisdom removed, and started bleeding a bit. The attendant gave me a few whiskies to clean and sterilise the mouth. Nice touch, at 8 in the morning.

hahaha I used the brandy healing powers in my youth "could I have a double Remy please, yeah I got a sore throat"

It's been seven years since I've been. It's amazing I haven't had problems long before. But I don't want to lose teeth at this age (or any age; there are two things I fear in life: losing teeth and losing hair).

So, off to the dentist for me at the nearest opportunity. It's silly that I haven't been given that I'm near 100% covered under two or three insurance plans.

In the meantime I need to stop rubbing coke from random surfaces into my gums. Nasal admin only. Maybe rectal. ;)

But numb gums feel so... weird and a bit naughty!

Dentists are only good for the Procaine! Last year a tooth (5th from the middle, lower jaw/right side) of mine decayed and eventually the top broke off leaving the gum exposed. There is now a new tooth there - my third for that particular tooth slot! :?

such an odd topic.
