Wisdom teeth too impacted for local anaethetic :/
Hi everyone, I had oral surgery today on my top two wisdom teeth and they were successfully extracted. The surgeon refused to do my lower ones, though, because he said he has to cut into the bone and it will be too uncomfortable and painful to withstand awake :o so, I've been referred to the hospital to have both removed…

Missing tooth options on NHS
In July 2019 part of my tooth broke off. It turns out I had to have my root canal treatment done and I paid the £270 to have a gold inlay put in. 2 weeks ago the gold inlay came out after only being put in 7 months ago. I went back to the dentist and they simply drilled part of my teeth and put the same golden inlay back…

Dental problem
I am after a little bit of guidance after a dental procedure I have had in July 2019 please. I have had two front NHS crowns fitted for 15 years and decided to have them replaced as they were a different colour to the rest of my teeth now and had started to get a slight gap along the gum line. I spoke to my regular dentist…

Tooth loosened during accident
Just after a bit of reassurance! My seven year old daughter had an accident and was seen by the maxillofacial team at my local hospital as one of her permanent front teeth was loose as a result. The tooth did not get knocked out, just loosened. They said that it wasn't worth using a splint, that she should avoid using her…

Dry eyes
I am taking eye drops for dry eyes which is a great help, the doctor also told me to bathe eyes with a hot cloth. I am now finding I have red and flaky eyelids and under eyes. I am using moisturiser but skin around eyes feels tight. I am told its a common condition and wonders if anyone has any help. Thank you

Lipsense - pleasantly surprised
Was very hesitant to purchase but had seen all the vids of smear-free and long-lasting wear. Tried it (bella/bombshell/gloss) and was very pleasantly surprised. It does what it says and I've had no issues with it and amazingly it lasted as stated! Anyone else here use their stuff? (FYI - I am not a distributor, salesperson…

Noom lapsed subscription costs
I signed up to Noom in Feb 2019 on their £89 for 8 months plan. Having lapsed and deleted the app I forgot all about it as they send absolutely no communication whatsoever outside of their app (no emails at all). I think this is a deliberate attempt to allow consumers to forget completely about their subscription and…

Advice on dental mouth guards
Visited the dentist last week. Was advised to get a dental mouth guard due to medium to severe grinding. I am assuming that this is very necessary as there will be health and financial implications if I do not have the guard. Was informed that it was part of band 3 dental treatment which is £269.30. Is there any value in…

Teeth grinding, mouthguards and NHS charges
The NHS charge for a mouthguard - which I apparently need -is above two hundreds pounds. Is it worth it? Do they last? I’ve tried amazon ones and they haven’t helped. Thanks for any help.

Dental implants
I've decided after many years of having 4 missing teeth that i finally want to take the plunge and go for at least 3 implants this year. The 4th missing is right out the way from smiling so It doesn't bother me that much. I don't mind going abroad, I've already got a rough price of 1600 Euro from Portugal each. Of course…

Bad haircut & insults
Weird incident happened yesterday on Valentine’s Day. As soon as I paid for a haircut, the receptionist started making derogatory comments aimed at me and asked strange identity theft questions about my date of birth and where I was living. The insults escalated until I started feeling uncomfortable. I cut the conversation…

Svelte for Valentines Day :lovethoug
Shiny new thread, with all the info carried over as follows:- Slimming World and Food Optimising is a plan for life, it's not a quick fix and you should look at weight losses over a period of time. There are no prizes for speed of weight loss. You need to commit to making changes to the food that you buy and how you cook…

Grey Reducer or Hair Lightener?
I'm Male, and just turned 50. My blonde hair is starting to go grey in patches. I may just let it go naturally grey, but what are the alternatives? I've looked at Control GX (they have a version for blonde Men), but will it just turn the grey and blonde to dark? Also I've looked at hair lighteners such as Sun In, or maybe…

Orthodontics via NHS referral or private
I have wanted for some years to get my teeth straightened but only now can afford to do so. My dentist is keen for me to try Invisalign, which she is qualified to do. I see her as an NHS patient but as it's classed as cosmetic treatment I would be paying for it privately. To be honest I am a bit sceptical as to whether…

Getting on Almond milk
So i watch a fair few fitness videos as i have an interest in it and kept seeing people mentioning this almond milk as some 'health alternative' to 'usual' milk i guess. It made me curious. I like almonds. Maybe i'll like almond milk was my thought process. I'll at least give it a try and see what it's like, especially…
