    Teeth can heal themselves. Really they can. I'm another dentist phobic and I can quite truthfully say that the handful of times I've been to a dentist, I've always come out in more pain than I've gone in. Fillings are overrated anyway.

    How can you say you did try when you've thrown in the towel?
    Don't let your hard work go so easily.
    At least minimise the spending, don't go mad :D

    Toothless= not attractive
    Rotting teeth = halitosis

    If you want to keep your OH sweet, don't let yourself go.
    Get to a dentist this week ;)

    oh this nagging is SO not me :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: I can't keep a straight face :rotfl:

    I'm with Olive on this one Strumpet, you can't have bad teeth, how very unattractive - think Shane McGowen of the Pogues....

    Tut, trust me to find your diary too late for a comfy seat.

    Never mind, any cakes or biscuits on offer today :D
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Don't mention biscuits if he has to go to the dentist!

    Empathy going your way (I don't do dentists either)

    And what do you mean about the £400.00 challenge? Keep to it and put any necessary Dental costs under "medical" !

    I hate the dentist too. I'm there soon for the first time in several years :eek:

    Maybe we could save the cake and biccies for when he gets back :D

    Hello Spud - you are one of my all time DFW heroes!! The biscuits have all gone....

    I took out a dental plan through work and get some of the costs back. Had to have a new crown, so it was very cost effective!!

    I cant think why I would be a hero, maybe a good example of how not to do things :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Strumpet - if you lived closer to me then I would come to the dentist with you and hold your hand.

    Dentists are different these days - they are more sympathetic to fraidy cats like me and you. As long as you let them know you're scared they will treat you with more sympathy.

    I hates the dentist (I even bit one once:rotfl: ) but I know that I have to go, its doubly painful for me because my jaw has worn away on one side so if I have to sit with my mouth open for an age it either locks in that position:eek: or dislocates:eek: :eek:

    I may have a few gold crowns (on molars) but I would hate to look like Shane McGowan of the Pogues or even some kid that I went to school with who was proud of his black teeth - funnily enough he always had a girl on his arm so I guess they mustn't have had a sense of smell:rolleyes:
