My mother doesn't. I would quite happily have this tooth pulled an dbe done with it but its a front tooth AND if I get any more gaps I will have to consider dentures or a soft solid diet.<br /><br />Irish Mammy - I too was amazed that it wasn't better organized. I've got the impression from speaking to people that the private dentist didn't want to give me information about a public emergency service. Weird in a country that prides itself on equality and has a very well run public health service that is considered good enough for all. Dentistry it seems, is different. I'll bare the turnip tip in mind if I'm unfortunate again :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840475795135915167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16463838.post-13695527609558607472010-03-25T00:49:37.727+01:002010-03-25T00:49:37.727+01:00Sorry to hear that, I am amazed that it was not mo...Sorry to hear that, I am amazed that it was not more organised? You could always take the Peig advice on the old rotting teeth and that was to chew on raw Turnip (presumably to break the tooth). Or to tie a string around the bad tooth and attach the other end to a door handle, then have someone shut the door.

And why does this kind of thing always happen at the weekend?<br /><br />Our grandmothers' generation tended to have all their teeth taken out and replaced by nice hygienic dentures at the earliest opportunity - certainly my grandmother did (she started out with buck teeth) - and while I consider this unduly drastic I can see the arguments in favour.Dothttp://kenanddot.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
