just sign on the dole and its free.

You can get them all pulled out and a set of badly fitting dentures for free, anything worth having you still have to pay for.

Yeah, last time I went to the dentist before all of this (three years ago) I had to have IV sedation to knock me out.  I tried to find a dentist who would do it on the NHS and I did eventually find a practice who said they did it on the NHS.  I turned up for an assessment where he obviously told me he wasn't doing it on the NHS anymore and it would cost over £300.  I was terrified and needed treatment really badly so I coughed up for it.  He was very kind and fitted me in the next day on his lunch break.  I wonder why...

For scardy people like me

I get temporary fillings from boots and fill me own teeth.

The kit is ready mixed and costs about £5.

this lasts for about 6 months then you have to top it up.

The pot has enough filling for 3 or 4 goes

Use pain killers to stop the pain then clean out the hole with hydrogen Peroxide
 on a cotton bud, let it dry , or use another cotton bud to dry it.

pop the filling putty into the hole and wait an hour before eating or drinking

hope this helps

i couldnt get an appointment last year, when a did get in to see the dentist i mentioned i was thinking of using temporary fillings, his advice was never use temporary fillings you likely get the tooth infected,you have to go in the end,best just to try and get in as soon as poss

I got one a few years ago.

Ignored it for a while and it went away.

Kept claiming it didn't hurt so I looked dead hard and ruff.

This strategy ftw

the local dentist took one look in my brothers mouth and while rubbing his hands together with glee said,"by the time i`ve finished you`ll have a smile like Tom Cruise"
the dentist is a big character round here bit of a wideboy and knows exactly what he can milk the nhs for.
