    Fecking Dentists...

    I've just broken another tooth.

    It was the one that was giving me all the grief after being filled on 4th January....

    Ho hum, here we go again...

    At least it hasn't started hurting yet

        Maybe if you cut up your victims before eating them.

            Polish Dentists and Opticians

            Friend of mine does the same and goes to Crackow for his dental treatment. With a cheap Ryanair flight he comes back quids in even if he makes a weekend of it and stays overnight in a hotel (which he often does). Two weeks ago he went there to get some new glasses at a fraction of the cost.

              How much is he paying his dentist then? Last visit I had resulted in one filling and a general checkup for £50. Can't see how I'd save money on that by leaving the country.

                I broke a tooth on an toffee, couldnt crown the tooth only option was a tooth implant, had no choice as missing tooth visable when smiled, total cost £2250, The bloke who did it even showed me a quote for a guy who was have £35k worth of dental work phuck me ! Did look into going abroad but an implant requires a full go to sleep anatestic so issues with flying back after.

                  He only does it for costly treatment, natch, not for a routine checkup. He saves his treatment up for bursts. Last time I think he had a couple of crowns done, a false tooth fitted (rugby player, you see) and had some whitening done at the same time. Would have cost an arm and a leg here. He's already booked his flight back to have a brace fitted.

                    Now that does make sense, remakably sensible for a rugby player. Must be Union
