"My children didn't have any fillings until they were in their 20s. Teeth are very important to me "
Well done you, my mum was the same with me!
Watching a kid have most of his teeth taken out and the mum saying he eats too many toffees and dont brush his teeth was maddening. The kid was 4 ffs. Dont give him sweets and teach him to brush properly! The lad has to wait for his adult teeth now to be able to bite! |

I had my first ever filling aged 38, shortly followed by a root canal.
It would have been avoidable if my dentist had taken note when I started to complain (and continued to complain) about sensitivity in that tooth two years earlier.
To say I was gutted was an understatement.
Although the tooth looked fine externally, by the time she bothered to take an x-ray, the inside of the tooth was totally rotten.
Filling it didn't cure the sensitivity so she suggested a root canal. Then she overfilled the canals so I still get sensitivity and pain! A new dentist has told me I can either live with it or I can have the root canal removed and redone. The latter option would need to be done by a specialist. Unsurprisingly there are no specialists anywhere near here, except in the private sector and privately the work would cost many, many hundreds of pounds.
So, I guess I'll be living with the pain then.
Thank you very much NHS dentistry for ignoring a minor problem until it became serious and then stuffing up mending it to the extent that it's going to take a private dentist, and a fuck tonne of cash I don't have, in order to fix it. |
