| The Dentist. I've not been to the dentist for so much as a check-up in about 5 years, maybe more.
So when I made my appointment, I was shitting myself. I'm well aware of how much it costs nowadays, but it turns out my fears where utterly misplaced.
Luckily, my teeth are 'fine'.
Result.

| Re: The Dentist. I'm sure everyone will sleep tonight knowing that. Still tho, its money saved that you can now spend on an unexpected sunglasses and lipgloss spree. Win.

| Re: The Dentist. My point was more about my stupid fear of the dentist, due to how expensive they now are.
But you're right, more money to spend on life's essentials;
Cider, cheap sunglasses, scarves and loon fung medium boxes. |

Unless you'd had your face panned in with a wrecking ball the day before the appointment then essentially there was nowt to worry about.

| Re: The Dentist. Well no really, it costs 40+ for a single white filling.
£70 an hour, for a hygensit appointment.
I was worried that because I'd not had a check up in years, I could've very easily been told that I need 3fillings, perhaps something else.
Regardles of recent purchases, £120 isn't something Id consider pennies. |

| Re: The Dentist. So sad... how it can only be ruined... the rest of your life can only spoil what we've made... the idea that every second they're just... rotting away. Can you live with that? I don't think you can.

I've no idea how I'd go about getting on an NHS list, I've been told there is no space. |
