Tits up at the Dentists

[Ronaldo]

Went to the dentists for checkup , you need root canal and a filling.

Work started on the canal treatment , a few days later jaw swollen back i went . ooh it hasn't worked
a little pile driving and out comes whats left of the tooth , two days on and ma hied is the size of a beach baw, back I go get some penicillin , another day passes and ma hied is still super inflated and i'm in mega pain swallowing codine like sweeties , emergency visit to Glasgow Dental hospital last night , numbed up back hame and twice as fekin sore .
Nipped oot ta the filling station and got some Iboprofen which has helped and I'm beginning to feel almost human again . Might even get some sleep tonight .

To be honest there was bugger all wrong before the check up .

Now looking to change Dentists

Time to change dentists

I have a friend who is a dentist who trained and qualified in the late 70s/early 80s - he now lectures in a teaching establishment for new dental students and he tells me that many of the procedures he would have undertaken are now no longer taught, as they are considered "to complex". This means that there are many newly qualified dentists who dont have sufficient training for general practice and have to refer patients to hospitals for what used to be routine work...

Sorry to hear of your bad episode. I am 71 and still taking new patients. I just think the commute could be a bit of an issue. :>)

You know that you are really old when you open a thread on your hobby forum and it`s about health issues - seriously my youngest daughter living in London could tell another story about NHS... I was close to get her back to Germany for treatment - but Boris will fix it.

Due to go back to the dental Hospital this afternoon but things are easing and don't know if i can take any more messing with my mouth .
This was my usual practice but has been sold to a bunch of youngsters so think I need to find somewhere new .
No substitute for experience .

No pain involved with this little story.........I was out walking with the dog I take out regularly for a neighbour (she's disabled & elderly), got back home and heard a tinkle on the floor. Something fell out the cleats of my boots. My Mrs. picks it up..," Goodness, someone's crown !" Sure enough, it is, and it's a gold one Question is, I've no idea in which part of the long walk it could have been picked up on my boot, but you'd think someone would have felt that drop out of their mouth and searched for it. They're not cheap, I know that. Nearest dentist is miles away, so no quickly nipping round to see if anyone's lost a crown locally.
Never thought of myself as a gold prospector, but that's what it feels like

 

[Joe55]

Well I'll be...….so there are folks that spend their entire lives digging and panning for gold. Now there's OldTaff just walking the dog and gold simply sticks to him like he is some kind of gold magnet!

[OldTaff]

D'you reckon I'm too late for a quick trot to the Klondike ? Reckon I might need bigger cleats on my boots

 

[DEL]

I'm up for it Ron. Got more drills, pliers and hammers than you can shake a stick at, come to think of it I've also got lots of sticks.
Best of all I'm enthusiastic and will not be put off my stride no matter how much you scream.
And I'd do the work gratis

They just had an earthquake up there exposing all kinds of strata, so you'd better get over pronto. You can't help but to hit the mother load!

[Joe55]

Ron, just tell the doc to give you a double whammy of morphine an it won't matter anymore!

[Landrotten Highlander]

I am a bit confused though. In my days, if you had a toothache we went to the gang - there was alwyas on who could give the one-.-three to help us out with that one

 

[Wayneb]

I agree LH......Whatever happened to the door knob and fishing line?....Whatsamatter….Nobody got any hair on their ass anymore...………...

 

[Landrotten Highlander]

I think it is all that 'get your info on the internet' nonsense. all old and tested methods of doing things are getting lost on the mists of time.

Or perhaps it is because they do not manufacture doorknobs and strings as they use to....

 

[Ronaldo]

Well you all may laugh but I'm still in pain not so much but enough . To all you comedians I hope your next shit's a hedgehog .

 

[Wayneb]

I can take it.....as long as it's not chock fulla nuts and it drops straight out...…………..Did you expect sympathy?...…...We all have our own pain.

Off course I don't expect sympathy Wayne , my little retort was said in jest towards my good modelling buddy Father Jack
