Five fillings replaced today. Five. I don't actually remember having ever brushed my teeth as a child and in the last couple of years I've been paying for it. Paying in dreadful, aching, pounding, relentless pain and of course financially. Last year I spent £5,000 on me teeth and this years total is clocking up fast. I should mention here that none of this money is for what you'd cal cosmetic dentistry, it's all simply spent on preventing my teeth from falling out and or smelling like a dead cat. And of course you get the question, would you like white fillings that cost about £80 each or ones made out of tin foil and bottle tops that cost 12p each but fall out after about an hour? Well I don't smoke and I don't take drugs so I figure going private with my dentist (that sounds vaguely rude, but you know what I mean) is one of the few luxuries I can afford. So… I class someone injecting my gums and drilling my teeth as a luxury? I must be one sick boy.
