FML ... Just F M L !!!

[Colchester Kev]

So, those who have known me on blonde for years will know that I have been very self concious of my teeth for ages, and always wanted to get them sorted out.

Only drawback was, I have a serious phobia of the dentist, stupid I know, but I am a gibbering wreck whenever I even think about dentists and needles in gums etc ... That said, I eventually plucked up the courage to seek out a dentist and make an appointment (my hand was kind of forced, as my teeth were becoming loose and were giving me constant pain)

I had my initial consultation a while ago and was sent for X-rays and told that I would be losing a few teeth and would need dentures ... no big surprise tbh, I knew this was going to be the outcome. The thing that pissed me off more than anything was the fact that my teeth were fine, no decay, no fillings required etc etc, the problem was gum disease, my gums had shrunk so badly that some of my teeth were just too loose to save, and if i had only visited a dentist earlier (albeit about 2 years earlier) I would have been ok and my teeth could have been sorted and saved ... FML

Onto Friday just passed and I have my follow up from the x-rays etc ... I sit in the chair and my Dentist tells me that apart from the 5 teeth I have already lost, i need to lose 7 more ... YES ANOTHER FKIN  S E V E N !!!

Marvellous, I am missing one front tooth at the top, one from the bottom and 3 from the side of my mouth, now I find out I will have to lose another 7 and have bridges/dentures top and bottom ... FML I think, but hey ho, at least I will be able to smile again, i don't think any photos exist of me smiling properly because I have always been too self concious about my railings.....

Mr Dentist then puts shit loads of putty in my mouth top and bottom and takes moulds for the making of the falsies, and tells me that it will take 6 days to make and to make an appointment to have the 7 teeth out and have the falsies fitted.

Off i trot to reception with my forms in my hand and make my appointment ... JULY the fucking 2nd is the earliest appointment I can have, WHAT !! over six fucking weeks with no front teeth etc ... FML.

So thats the state of play, gappy for 6 more weeks and still have the extraction of 7 more to look forward to ... and just to FML a bit more, the receptionist says , "oh hang on, i see you are having dentures made" ... "Yes" I say hoping that they would now miraculously find me an earlier appointment ... "ahhh" she says, "In that case you will have to pay a sizeable deposit"

FML ... FML ... FML ...  So if anyone sees me out and about in the next 6 weeks, feel free to take the piss !!


 PS. Please brush your teeth regularly and have regular dental check ups, I sure wish I had done so.

Sorry Kev, will all be worth it in the end. Do you go totally under during the procedure?

Very hard to get access to decent prompt dental treatment in the UK. I blame John Gummer.

I hate dentists and come out in a cold sweat. Added to the fact the jab they give me does not dull the pain and they have no idea why, I fuking dread going

Helps to have a female dentist I reckon.

gaps in teeth add character!  I lost a front tooth in an accident when I was 18 months old, so any photos of me between that age and 5 years old have a nice gappy smile   I used to think I'd found a kindred spirit when I watched Tarby on the telly as a kid   Seriously, it seems like a long time at the moment, but it'll pass quickly, and you'll be able to show us your lovely smile at bB8.  In any case, I can't imagine any worse photos of you between now and then than that one of you on facebook

New avatar Kev?

and be pleased you're not a woman - I hate the dentist too, but it's a walk in the park compared to what I've got to go through tomorrow - I'd take the dentist 5 times over in it's place if I could.  I'm sure the ladies reading understand!

No, apparently the only place that could do that is the hospital ... so its local anaesthetic ( a fkin needle in the trap !! )
