Maureen – Not sure if it’s bravery, exactly, more the lesser of two evils! But I was scared, so perhaps I was brave. LOL!

Good luck with your broken tooth! I know of so many people lately who’ve broken teeth, all around my own age. I’m sure it’s a combination of ageing teeth, plus the advice to eat healthy foods. I’ve been eating seed mix, and I’m sure it was those darned unhulled hemp seeds that did it for me!

Dentists should have shares in them.

I never used to mind the dentist. But in the past few years, I have been getting worse and worse nerves sitting in that chair. (Maybe that’s in direct proportion to the severity of these aging teeth). I have a broken tooth I finally have an appointment to have repaired in a few weeks. Luckily, our dentist uses headphones in his office. (although now I take my iPod). And novacaine? I sometimes get frozen up to my eye socket… geesh.

Glad to hear you are doing okay! You are braver than I for refusing anesthetic.

Liz – That happened to us, too. Paul went private, and we went off to find a new dentist … who proceeded to ruin one of my back teeth (the one I’ve just had repaired again) and was actually swearing and sweating while he worked on me.

So we bit the bullet and went back to Paul and said ‘we’ll pay!! PLEASE take us back!!’ and he did.

Your dentist does sound keen! Goodness! ‘Thank you for suggesting it’ LOL!!

Thanks for dropping in.

I am terrified of dentists too. My last one went private and it took ages for us to get on a new list. Now we see a young foreign girl who is very keen. ‘It doens’t have to be done but I could drill/repair/drill/improve/drill this tooth or that one or maybe this one.’

I always say ‘no, it’s all right. But thank you for suggesting it.’

Daphne – He’s the first dentist I’ve ever had with a first name, too! But he really is a jolly nice chap, and is on first name terms with everyone.

‘Mrs Floss is about twelve’! LOL!

Meleah – I just take OH. If he wasn’t available I might indeed have to be sedated!

Sandy – It’s getting harder and harder to find a good one, isn’t it? I feel for you. You can share Paul if you like, but you’re probably too far away!

What amazes me most in the whole story is that the dentist was called Paul. I have never had a dentist who had a first name: in fact I've only ever had two: Mr Wilkinson, who was great, and my current dentist, Mrs Floss (that's not her real name) who is about twelve and spends most of her time tutting at me about all my fillings.

Jenn – Haha! That wouldn’t be so funny. Or ‘The Man with One Red Shoe’!

Sweeney performing dentistry? Well, you know, in earlier times, our barbers did perform dentistry and minor surgery. That was the reason behind the red and white striped pole, you know. Blood and bandages.

Silverback – Clearly, being male, you have completely misunderstood. The relationship between a place of pain and Johnny Depp is simple: Johnny makes everything better. Even that. He’s an excellent distraction.

See?

All the women got it.

I can’t believe that after all these comments, no one has picked up on the obvious relationship between a place of pain and watching a Johnny Depp movie !! You laid it out on a plate.

Or maybe it was just a cunning trap (like on QI) and if so, I’m not hearing the noise over here in sunny Florida.
