He has not been for 5 years after the dentist practically cut his mouth up

He has had killer toothache for 3 days and nights, has completly overdosed on co-codemal, paracetamol and ibuprofen, didn't sleep at all last night and can't lie down because the pain just gets worse, yet he I still refusing to go to the dentist

Any tips on getting a dental phobic to go?

Well i can sympathise.... can't find a NHS one and refuse to pay money for pain! And I do have tooth ache - not that bad mind you!

well he has no excuse, we have a dentist and we qualify for free dental treatment

with any luck i'll go into labour tonight and he can have some gas and air

So you're due to pop and he's faffing around about going to the dentist?

Fat lot of use he's going to be.

hmm, I think if he moans about it whilst the midwife is here she'll probably slap him

Idiot.

Tell him to take some responsibility and get it sorted. If it's an absess or something it's only going to get worse, and you'll have enough on your plate with a new baby.
