Are the teeth loose when you take them out or do you really have to tug at them? I'm not sure I could do that.

Susan, the one thing I am absolutely terrified of is dentists, I'd rather face a bloke with a gun! It all stems from bad experiences as a child, for years now I've been taking out my own teeth, I have it down to an artform, I took one out recently that had been causing me pain for a while so it had to go, a bit of ice to numb the gum, a large Jack Daniels to dull the pain and off I went, it soon came out and although it did hurt a bit at least I knew what to expect.

Some are a little loose, some are solid, the trick is not to break them, then you have to dig the remains out, but I've only had to do that once. lol

I need a filling.
I had an appointment for it to be done on March 24th ... except Boris declared lockdown the day before, so it was cancelled. It was rescheduled to June 24th, next week.

Thankfully, he did bung a bit of infill in it as mine isn't straightforward. It's gone under the tooth, else I'd have got one of these DIY kits. Never heard of them before.

My dentist still isn't doing fillings .... he's only doing emergencies (by appointment) and hasn't opened, so now it's rescheduled again from next week until September 28th.

It only growls a little now and then ... but if it plays up I have my pliers ready. I won't miss it.

Well .. I've pulled a loose one out, years ago ... after waggling it for a few hours .. but never had to dig the remains out. Didn't it get infected?

Hey, that's looks like good stuff. Quick set too.

Well you live and learn ..

Alcohol is a wonderful cleaner, so long as the tools are sterilised, I just flush the hole with neat bourbon afterwards and it has been ok so far, touch wood. I really am terrified of dentists, even chatting to one gives me the creeps.
