good news and bad news!
FINALLy after five eyars living here we have got registered with an nhs dentist!!
Yes FIVE eyars without one.
I must be honest and say I am already getting nervous about my first apoointment, and it hasnt even been made yet.
I ahve been once in twelve years, had a rather painfull very deep filling done, that is now most of my tooth ( ie more filling than tooth) and had them cleaned too.
I am dreading going. I literally feel sick and start to shake etc. I know i am mor than likely going to need a fair bit of work doing, possibly even extraction of wisdom teeth. They started coming through when i was 17, and every few years give me big problems, swollen jaws, lumps on my face, stiff jaw, pain etc. But stilla rent through even half way. Always been too scared about having htem out to go.
Also i HATE my teeth, some are twisted, there are large gaps between them all.
On a diff note, the new dentist is going into a new purpose built surgery about five minutes walk away from me. They wont let me register at the new doctors when it opens as i already ahve a GP.
Shame, cos the one I have now is a 25 -30 minute walk away, up a hill. And when you're not feeling well it's a heck of a slog up that hill!
But at least kids and i will get our teeth sorted now
