Ouch!!

[excelsior-1]

just got back from the dentist with a large filling

mouth very numb - wallet £56 lighter

[welshtanner]

Poor you.

[maggiebee]

Double whammy - mouth and wallet!!

[excelsior-1]

advised not to eat for at least four hours

i'm starving!

[maggiebee]

Soup and/or custard etc should be OK - anything you don't have to chew.

[excelsior-1]

good idea maggie, thank you (now where do i keep my straws?)

[anneasquith]

look on the bright side... ?..............no toothache. dentist says don't eat for 4 hours, not such a hardship surely

[chrissa1]

Be grateful you still have teeth to fill. Lol.

[jno]

so true, Chrissa, if you think a filling's expensive, look at the costs of getting new teeth

What was it thar hurt the most, excel? The filling or the bill? I hope you are on the mend now and have had something to eat.

[excelsior-1]

good evening tilly

i am fine now, thank you

the filling was totally painless - she is an excellent dentist..i just did not expect the cost to be so high, especially as i have to go back next week for another one

[Tilly2]

Oh, dear. That will teach you not to eat trifle!

[whurules]

£56 is good my dentist charges 95pounds just for a check up ,clean and polish he is brilliant though

[elliemay1]

I recently paid £70 for a small filling so at least you got value for your money!!

[Maydup]

We pay £49 for a filling - not that I enjoy it anymore than you excel! Hope you're feeling better this evening and back on solids!

[excelsior-1]

good evening Maydup, thank you
