The Dentist

[debtmountain]

It didn't Jan[:(]...I dragged myself there,literally shaking and sat in the chair while the dentist scoured my mouth to see what work needed doing and while sat there, I was 'brace'ing myself for the bad news and it was!![:(]..I need to go back to have an x-ray (£11),apparently this is going to be a yearly thing required, also a scale and polish with the hygienist(£34), which I hate having done as she hurts[:0] and also a filling (£42), she said it's just a very tiny one that needs doing but I know what she really means is it's a whopper[:0] and is going to hurt like hell[:(]...What I'll probably do is try and be brave and have the x-ray and filling done first, then the scale & polish the following month...I know I'm a BIG baby when it comes to going to the dentist but I don't like pain, it hurts!!..Just hope when hubby goes next month, he doesn't have to have anything done or it's going to cost us a fortune....Isn't it typical though, not had to have any work done for about six years and then now we're in an IVA, you can bet I'll need everything doing...Sorry[:I], having a rant here!!, still feel better now I've got it off my chest[:)]..will keep you informed how it goes[;)]..xx

I hope your dentist managed to get to the 'root' of any problems DM[:D]......sorry, couldn't resist that one[:D]..

I really don't know how they can justify such charges!

At least it's over for today so you can relax!

[tori]

We must have posted at the same time DM - you poor thing though, i know exactly how you feel though, i would be terrified...hope you're okay. xx

[:D][:o)][:D]..Thanks Tori,to be 'toothful', I think she did get to the 'root' of my problem, but one things for sure, it most definately wasn't a full'filling' experience[:D]and now I have to wait for the moment of 'tooth' next month when I have the x-ray done to see what else they can find that probably needs doing[:(]

Thanks Jan,
She expected me to have all the work done today,[:0] I'm not made of money[:(],none of us are,are we?[:)] ..in a way would have liked to have got it all done today so I don't have to keep thinking what I've got to get done next month, but for now will relax as you say and try not to think about it[;)]

I can't believe they expect you to have all that money at once! I can usually just about scrape together the money for the checkups!

[debtmountain]

Exactly Jan, and she seemed quite taken aback that I wasn't going to have it all done there and then and said to me, quote "well, it is fairly urgent that you get this done as soon as possible".. I would have done if I could afford to, just to get it over and done with[:(]

They obviously think we are as well off as they are![:D]
