I just been to the dentist and i cant feel the side of me face

I had a two fillings done in the same place top and bottom and the bottom one has never been right so they keep fiddling with it and they just redone the top one cos apparently that wasn't done right either. But the beggars charge each time they fiddle. How can they charge when it's them thats feckering it up each time???

I know the feeling mate. I've had a filling re-done 7 times in a year and forked out each time as "the nerve won't settle in the right position, it's about a millimetre out of place"

Jesus, as long as it doesn't hurt I don't care!
All them xrays can't be good either

Here you go chaps. Read this article. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/hea...000/716272.stm
It has a section relating to fillings being badly fitted. They say if a filling has to be replaced within 5 years of being fitted it has been fitted badly and should be replaced for free !! Show this to your dentist and then see what he has to say!! If you get no joy, report the bugger to your local NHS Trust & the General Medical Council

He's obviously incompetant or ripping you off --- Or Perhaps BOTH !!

I went to the dentists today for some root canal treatment.
Quick injection, 45 mins drilling the hell out of my tooth , quick wipe and sorted, no pain at all, except �66 lighter.

I did feel a bit dumb though when afterwards I put a fag in my mouth and it fell straight out onto the floor .

I have never had a problem with any of my dentists , I must have been lucky in finding good ones.

cheers for the link mate, i'll remember that next time i'm there

I might have to have root canal on my bottom tooth if they cant fix it

I made the mistake of reading bout what they do too and now i'm scared shitless. i hate the dentist enough as it is but knowing that my tooth could shatter and looking at my current track record with dentist's....FUCK that is all i can say.....

Rather you than me M8

Good luck with it.

I've got an Aunt that is so scared of injections that she actually had root canal work done with NO ANESTHETIC -- Holy F*%k, I mean, She's only 5ft 2" and very petite but she must be one tough mamma in my opinion. They'd have had to give me enough drugs to knock out a bloody elephant and I reckon they'd still have had to drag my 17stone ass kickin' and screamin' to the chair!!

I've got mucho respect for my Aunty after that one!! :oneeye:

HOLY SHIT!!! No anesthetic!!!! WTF, i cant even have a filling done without being drugged to the teeth. They drill the fecking nerve away, how the blue f%&k can she have that done with no anesthetic!!!!

And as you said mate, i'm gonna knock myself out on a wal or something if they dont do it for me!!!
