Smile!
Remember I told you a little while ago about my tooth cracking on a piece of vicious diet food?
I have a check up today at 4... turns out while filling my tooth they found about a billion things wrong with my shiny white hollywood looking teeth (another example of appearances being deceptive!). Now they are going to make a long long list of them and then charge me a lot of money for an on going nasty experience to put them right.
The worst thing is that I am a credit card baby from a lost generation of people who got so badly into debt as students that money has lost all value, as such the only way I can pay for any of this without sacrificing shoes, hair, nails or a couple of weeks in the sun is to get my parents to pay.
Who would have thought - new teeth for my 27th birthday? Nice....
This is an all time low....
Oh no, hang on - I've lost a turkey for my photoshoot... it just go worse.
Help

(21.7.03 15:59) Sorry to read you are having a dental disaster! Im giving you a sweetie to cheer you up but you have to promise to brush your teeth straight after, ok? If you feel you are a coward, you aren't alone. I think most people do. Take care Lois xxx |

(21.7.03 16:16) Ouch, I've always wondered about the way the dentist system works. The person who tells you you've got x, y and z wrong that need sorting is the same person who you then pay lots of money to do it. Seems a trifle dodgy to me, but I suppose it's the same way car mechanics work. So why do they have a rep for dodginess, and dentists don't? Best of luck, anyhow. If it's any consolation, I once had loads of stuff diagnosed and done over a period of about a month, and by the end I'd lost all my fears, and was fine about going in. |

(21.7.03 22:34) Oh you poor baby, I bloody hate going to the dentist, you go in for a little thing and it costs bloody hundreds for 1/2hrs work!!! Here you go babe, have a sweetie as long as you promise to suck it until it disappears (ooo-er missus!!!) and floss and brush afterwards before you see the dentist again!!! Anyway, enjoy the sweetie and take care of you, have added you to my faves and will come back for an update on your dental nightmare!!! Much Love, BaZzA. XxXxX. |

(21.7.03 23:42) I read this today, Monday, and I get home and there is one of those postcards dentists send out waiting for me from my dentist, who is called Dr Stiff (I am not joking). There are vouchers attached to it for various treatments, none of which I am likely to have done. My front teeth were chipped in a fight years ago, and Dr Stiff always asks me if I am "happy with their appearance", which always makes me smile my broken smile. They still slice things fine, and nobody ever comments on them. Or almost nobody. I met this other dentists's daughter at a party once, and she was intrigued to know what had happened to them, and moderately appalled when I told her. |

(22.7.03 08:25) I had to go to the dental hygenist yesterday; it was pretty grim being taught at 28 years old how to floss. Cheers for the comments on "The Book" promise to post more soon. No worries! Tom |

(22.7.03 10:58) I was introduced to Dr Stiff by an ex-girlfriend. I should have known the relationship was doomed from that moment on. You can take advantage of Dr Stiff's services at: Bloomsbury Dental Practice, 7 Bury Place, Bloomsbury, London WC1A 2LA. Tel: 020 7916 8000 He takes photographs (of your teeth) and everything. |
