Okay, I haven't been to the dentist for 10 years and me teef are really starting to hurt now.
Anyone know how long you generally have to wait to get an NHS dentist? I'm considering downing a bottle of rum and some DIY dentistry at the moment.

I stopped going when my dentist became privitised, Sade. I was quite young and didn't realise there were any NHS ones still about.
Dentists don't bother me. Now doctors on the other hand :shock:

I'm guessing the holes are in the molar teeth?

They are. Your advice isn't going to be to see a dentist is it, reg? |

I know when I do go the dentist is going to have a right pop as well. You'd think he'd be happy. Plenty of fucking work for you in this mouth mate |

Anyone see that documentary a few backs about how many of the bastards are either incompetent or on the scam?
They took someone examined by the head honcho of dentists who gave them pretty much the all clear with perhaps scope for a little minor cosmetic scraping and the like.
Out of the ten or so dentists they sent the young lass to all but two where ready to rip the drill out, one even tried to pull teeth and give her 8 fillings.
The old man’s best mate went to one dentist who told him he needed major, major dental work. He took a 2nd opinion with an NHS chap who told him his teeth where perfectly healthy and he didn’t need anything doing at all.

While you're are there, ask them to put some wisdom teeth in  Why not DIY with dental floss? Slide it in the gaps on both sides of offending tooth, cross hands at front and pull apart and upwards (or downwards). Floss cuts round root and out pops tooth ... ... and lots of blood. :shock: |
