Ouch!!

I would just like to advise anyone who is thinking of having a filling in their teeth done without an anaesthetic.... DON'T!!
It is absolute agony.
Especially if the hole is much deeper than the dentist thought.
My trip to the dentist this evening didn't get off to the best of starts. First of all I couldn't find them because they had relocated (not due to my usual direction dyslexia, I hasten to add), then they kept me waiting for ages, then the patient in front of me walks out of the dentist clutching her mouth and moaning 'she was so cruel to me today....'
That's when I started to feel nervous.
The dentist reassured me that if the pain got too much, just raise a hand... I raised a hand, and added in a few squeals to the bargain, all to no avail.
I have vowed to never again drink fizzy drinks, eat sweets and to floss every day -- I never ever ever want to have another filling again!! And definitely not on the NHS!
