+1, my mouth sets off the metal detectors at the airport. I have 1 root filling (actually have 5) that includes the reamer that snapped as they were cleaning out the root. The dentist took the view that if it was in there that tight that it can snap a steel reamer, then there it must be a tighter fit than the filling material they would stick in once the cleaning out was complete.

What he really meant was That there is no way I can get that out without removing the tooth (Or what was left of the tooth)

Easy on the wallet - it's just the 30 minutes in the chair with Torquemada....

I may go a bit moer to the dentist now that I've had the hard part done.

dont know if i could get my bum in the seat (not cuz i have a huge a*rse) but i get panic attacks just thinking about it! Although i did suprise myself by actualy getting in the building last month - (i didnt really have a choice as Phil was dragging me in by my hair!) well, not quite but you get the picture!!

got to go tomorrow to the Dentist.

only for a check up.

can't see why people are so affraid of them...
Looking forward to my sticker and sugar free lollipop...

About 7 months ago I went to the dentist for the first time in over 7 years (basically, since I was last living at home & my parents made me go ) - nothing wrong just needed cleaning!

And on my next visit a month ago no cleaning really needed either

That scraper thingy they use: OUCH!!!!!!! Half way thru, I had to ask her to stop - which isn't easy with a mouth full of spit, a dentist mirror & some implement that was most recently in the movies in the Evil Dead trilogy.

It was 12 years since my last check up, I wonder why?

don't be such a wuss, i used to have fillings done without anesthetic, cause i could not be bothered to wait for the thing to wear off
what's the worse that could happen? NOTHING or the drill could slip and go through your tongue or cheek

lucky man don't give birth

my dentist used to give me an anesthetic but not wait for it to work and just strated butchering me straight away - funily enough he was called Mr Butcher (no joke)

My old dentist in St Helens once turned at the surgery with blood dripping off his ear and proceeded to give me a check up, a couple of hours later I was contacted by the surgery and told there would be no charge for treatment, apparently he got into fight in the car park and was arrested shortly after I left the surgery, and I was asked to keep it to myself, he has since been struck off for various irregularities in the accounts. Its tough up north you know.
