PMSL.... don't blame the store, blame too many sweets! The blame culture in the UK increases where everyone wants to take someone to court if an unfortunate accident happens.... Pay for it yourself like everyone else would!Crikey I shouldnt be saying that as Im a lawyer... they will kick me out!!
Too many sweets didn't cause it.If you're going to stalk me, while you're at it can you cut the grass, feed the dog & make sure I've got bread & milk in

You are all being very harsh. Zoe was just asking for advice.
Thank you.
Yes I was just asking what other people thought, whether to accept the £20 and be grateful or pursue it, as the end of my original post says.
But thank you everyone for the replies, they've certainly made me chuckle!

No I'm not sure, it sounds as if it's just been built up as you say, I think that's all the dentist did.
It was originally chipped years ago when another kid swung a gate open and it hit him in the face but he has had it for about 6 years and been fine, just one of those things I guess.
It's lasted pretty well I'd say.
If it wasn't the cookie that broke it off on that day, then it would have been something else a few days later. As they age, the bond deteriorates.
But - build-ups on the biting edge of incisors are very prone to breaking off if a lot of pressure is put on them. E.g. toffee Cookies, biting fingernails etc.How to find a dentist.
1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.0 -

It sounds like he was lucky to have it last that long. I had a filling just fall off a few months back - I was sitting on the train and it finally gave in. It was about seven years old and the dentist said they're normally only good for about 3-4.Organised Birthdays and Christmas: Spend So Far: £193.75; Saved from RRP £963.76

was the cookie fit for purpose?
or course it could be cooked in such a way that it was inedible.If you think that and still have some left take them to environmental health or trading standards (not sure where)
Others might be grateful if tescos have got the mix wrong !living on the "edge"0 -

I wanna know did the gate give you a £20 voucher or did you persue ?? :rotfl:
Sorry Zoe, I know you were only asking for advice and I am sure you have had enough on this thread now, had to have a little chuckle at some of the advice though.0 -
I tried one but found it was too hard
(Tesco says ) I hope that you understand we can't accept responsibilty for this. ?
Some parents, I ask you. Of course Tesco is not responsible for your stupidity. Any right-minded would never allowed their child anywhere them after discovering they were to hard. And you knowing that your child’s tooth was capped allowed him to try it.GONE ENGLAND0 -

It was a cookie
He didn't try the same one as I did
He is 14, not a toddler
He has had his tooth capped for about 6 years and ate everything else normally
How ridiculously stupid of me to allow a 14 year old to eat a cookie
You'd think I'd shared a joint with him!

It was kids playing, I suppose I could have confiscated the kids pocket money for a few weeks though :rotfl:
I'm quite happy to keep reading the replies, I also have had a little chuckle at them! :TIf you're going to stalk me, while you're at it can you cut the grass, feed the dog & make sure I've got bread & milk in0
