It's not the blood, it's the infection if any    *Holds sensible hat on head* 

Is this your company emblem?

We laugh everytimee we pass it and thats been for about 30yrs....

Ewwww! Cinds! 

What your teef look like has become the 2010's view of 'class' and/or wealth imo.....as much as a row of condemned houses teeth are not a good look....how much do i hate all of those 'false teeth' looking veneers.....

I was on holiday last week in Turkey - there were a lot of russian holidaymakers - looks like the way to go is a whole set of gold or silver teeth - sometimes both metals in one mouth

Apologies for the size of this pic but ..............i saw a lot of this sort of stuff.

Ahhh Geez Sooz, that's vile isn't it?  I'd rather be just a set of gums.

I've seen a builders firm called Bodgit and Legget and a hairdressers called Curl up and Dye

I use bonjela all the time, even as a kid 

Me too Super, they look like a pallet of false teeth.  

Honestly, when my Dad got a top pallet of falsies a couple of years ago I just couldn't stop laughing.  Firstly, because in all my life I can't remember him having a full set of teeth on the top.  Secondly, because he does that 'whistle' thing when he says certain words that only false teeth wearing people do.  I noticed it when John Craven got his 

Pirate couldn't you book an appointment with the Dental Hospital????  I know they make you wait a bit but if it's an emergency they deal with you there and then 

ok still in pain

and

just looked through the old posts

i was moaning about the crocks in my cupboard in july 2010!

Found you. I recognised you from your description in Sparkles thread.

and i tell ya what

when i get that needle put into my gums

i will not scream

i shall not

i wont

not at all

i probably will

im nearly crying now

You might not get a needle. You might have an abscess and they'll give you antibiotics.

Pirate, I wholeheartedly feel for you. I have such an aversion to the dentist that I haven't been for about 20 years. Thankfully my teeth seem very healthy. I've still got all of them bar one and, weirdly, acquired another wisdom tooth about 10 years ago.

and, weirdly, acquired another wisdom tooth about 10 years ago.

can i borrow it?

why are wisdom teeth called wisdom teeth?

Cos they grow with age.

I think it's because they don't appear until we're almost grown up and be supposedly wise.

well,

going to find the dentists number

Goodnight

Godbless

this time tomorrow night the little offending b*stard should be in a glass jar and i can swear at it

How's Pirate today? did you manage to see the dentist?

Probably a bit late with this Pirate if you've already been to the dentist BUT if you haven't then when you do go, ask them to apply the gel that they give kids before injecting them.  It's a numbing gel and only takes a few seconds to work.  My dentist knew how terrified I was of the needle because when she was only having a look in my mouth and said I'd need a filling I started to panic and the assistant could feel my heart racing and my hands and legs were shaking  so she said she'd put the gel on first and I wouldn't feel it as much when the needle went in.  I felt nothing.  I was so relieved that I went back the next week for another filling whereas before I wouldn't have gone for months on end. 

Pirate, hope you've managed to see the dentist and your toothache has eased.

Pirate I do hope it's sorted, but whenever I hear about the dentist it reminds me of my sister.

(I'm sure I've told it to the forum before, but it still makes me laugh)

Basically, she had been in agony all weekend, saw the Dentist on Monday, he did all he could while giving her sympathy 'poor thing you must have been in aginy' etc etc.  

Anyway, he finished the treatment, leant in with his arms open to take the dental bib off her.  My sister, still feeling sorry for herself, took him coming in with arms open as a sign he was giving her a sympathetic hug and grabbed him in a bear hug.

What was the biggest mistake she made?  Hugging the dentist by mistake?  OR Telling her 4 sisters what she did?  

Trust me 15 years later, her 4 sisters are still ripping her about it. 

@ Cinds' sister.

Pirate, come back and let us know how you got on at the dentist.

i didnt go

it was a chapter of errors

i couldnt drive

mate couldnt make it to pick me up

i wouldnt go in a taxi cos id be on my own at the dentist

and its ok-ish now

apart from the fact i look like ive got a black eye

must be the swelling or summat

pirate - you need to go.     Sounds like you've got an abscess - and they're sneaky little buggers, they stop making you feel like you want to bang your head off the wall just to lull you into a false sense of security... one day you'll wake up and be willing to cut your own head off to stop the pain. OR... the poisin in your system will make you really not well.        I was the world's biggest coward about the dentist - until I was forced to go earlier this year.  I wasn't even registered with a dentist and they're like gold dust up here - I got a place at a practice and realised why - the dentist was about 14!   Obviously just qualified, but he was flippin' brilliant... i spent three months having all sorts done to my teeth - not pleasant, but it didn't really hurt - I even volunteered for root treatment rather than extraction.    It cured my fear eventually.    Oh and he did the kid's thing ella spoke about - put the local on my gum before the injection.     Go.... lie back.. shut your eyes...think of Debbie  and take deep breaths - you'll be fine, promise.   

Pirate, you really need to go and get that seen to.  I don't want to scare you, but it might become worse before it gets better. Please see if you can get someone to go with you 

Pirate, I'm glad the pain has eased a bit, but you should still go to the dentist.

YAY! Well done you Kaffy. Obviously no-one likes going to the dentist, but they're professionals and if it cures the pain, job done    

Cane it.

And drive to the tooth extractor.

Novocaine isnae bad.

Yeah, it's not a bad song (Bon Jovi)  

cheers kath

im not worried about the dentist-honest!

ive had tongue piercings, and other piercings lol

tattoos

needles dont bother me

but if someone touches my mouth at the moment-im liable to go mental

perhaps i'll wait 'til it settles a bit

alcohol is helping at the mo

ps

im a bit scared

just a little bit lol

Champion of the world when I had my last tooth out.

Crown snapped off at the gum.

Not the answer and you know it! 

As I said, no-one likes the dentist but they are really good at putting you at your ease these days 

anyway

thank you

no more teef talk

when i grow a pair and go to and see dr joseph mengele, i'll let you know

Hmmmmm 

hahaha... better still... suss out a fit young female dentist.   it helped that mine (whilst looking 14.. ok, make that 18) was quite cute!       Probably just get antibiotics anyway before they'll touch it.

When I had an abscess, the dentist prescribed antibiotics and strong painkillers to zapp the abscess. He waited until the swelling had subsided before he took the tooth out.

Honestly Pirate, I was really frightened of the dentist, so if I could do it, so can you.

BTW, I've now got a lovely dentist and I'm not scared any more.
