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.
