I'm off to the dentist to get this filling done. My tongue is so sore where it's been rubbing against my jagged piece of tooth that all I feel now is a great sense of anticipation that, in under an hour, at least one of my problems will be fixed. :D How good is that? And how sad? :lol: DD

    It is very good indeed. At the very least it is one problem less. I wish you a pain-free extraction and award you the order of the drinking straw for the rest of the morning :wink:

    Sorry. I got carried away there and confused your filling with Mr SW's extraction of last week. I still hope it is/was pain-free and you and your tongue will now be much more comfortable. You'll still need the straw but at least you will be able to have a nice crunchy apple or stick of celery later.

    Thank you everyone, it went far better than I was anticipating and I now feel a bit of a clot for making so much fuss. :oops: I am repaired, a tad sore but OK. She drilled away the jagged bit, filled and then removed all the plaque etc that had built up over the years. I am due to go back for a six-month check-up on April 1 2014 and, being a generally obedient and sensible girl, I will do just that. I have been an idiot to avoid a dentist for so long and I am grateful that things are not worse. I am un-numbing now but will still sup my tea through a straw, just to give things time to settle. DD

    Hi DD,

    I am really glad the dentist was not too bad.

    You are not alone in hating visiting them.

    Brave? Moi? :lol: Bless your heart, Joan, I am anything but but I can find the courage to confront things to get them over and done with - I learned that lesson very young from my mum, she taught me well. Lunch was a tin of baked beans, with added paprika and chilli powder for a bit of colour and kick. Nice and soft. :)

    Hello louisarm, how kind of you to post, it's lovely to hear from you. DD

    Thank you one and all, I am pleased to report that it's still in place! I have been careful with it but my lunch today may be a tad challenging: crunchy white baguette with a smooth paté followed by Jaffa cakes with a cuppa. :D I fancied a treat so I am going to have one. I have to say that my teeth are feeling much cleaner and I am going to keep using the sonic toothbrush I inherited from Ma - she bought it but never used it. It was helping my teeth before and I am sure will be of even more benefit now. DD

    It was scrummy but I am experiencing some payback after yesterday's thirty minutes in the chair. My neck and jaw are not happy which is a minus. :( My tongue, however, is healing and feeling much more comfortable which is a plus. :) DD
