I'm off on Thursday for what ostensibly is an appt. to renew a filling. What it might turn out to be is a measure up for a crown.

GULP. I'm too young for a crown, and not rich enough to pay, and too much of a wimp to go through with it.

My sympathies are with you. I shall be drooling over the keyboard soon!

thx blue2

my prob started with dentist re-newing a filling and not taking all the old filling out first, just filling on top of old one therefoe sealing in an infection, have tried to get antibiotics today (coz I feel hot and weary, face is swollen and sore) but non-existant dental cover on weekend and gp not playing ball, will have to cope over weekend, never thought I'd ever lose any teeth, so I'm gutted that I am now gappy even though no one can see it, godd luck for next week
lol
