Calling Toothsmith please
Are you familiar with the homeoblock or "alf" type appliances? What do you think of them? Does any here have any experience? My own perception is that my bottom jaw is too small and set back (to the point where if I push my jaw forward, I can actually breathe easier). It would seem to make more sense to expand the bottom…

Now, I wasn't at this appointment, her Gran took her as I was at work. The dentist asked my daughter to tell me to pop in to have a…

Do you have a good doctor?
My surgery is hit and miss and I absolutely dread having to go. There is one nice doctor but he is always booked up ages in advance. Never seen a nurse there but they often don't have one about anyway (i'm supposed to see the nurse when I have my asthma checked) Today I had to go and as usual I felt I was being a pest.…

Pencil and liquid eyeliner
I know this has been covered before but I still can't work out which is best. Liquid stays put more but sometimes I think it looks a bit harsh (as I am now 50). I love Clinique quick liner and I think they have brought out one of those in a liquid version so it looks like a pencil and goes on like a liquid. Avon do one…
