To be suprised that NHS dentisits put mercury fillings in

[feellikeahugefailure]

I haven't needed a filling for many years but now need one replaced. I didn't realise that NHS still do mercury fillings. I've spent most of my adult life in a country where these are banned.

It all sounds very Victorian imo.

I'd love a porcine filling. Would be very convenient for those times you really want bacon and there's none to hand. Nom nom.
