After my recent trip to the dentist, I'd been chewing on the other side of my mouth, to let the fillings settle in.
Today, I bit into an apple... and one of my new not-very-cheap fillings fell out. Crap!
I phoned the dentist and he said he could fit me in for an "emergency patch up".
When I got there, he said it was just a simple procedure to fix it.
What he didn't tell me was that "simple" meant without anaesthetic....
If my nails had been any longer, I think I would have drawn blood, I was clasping my hands so tightly throughout the ordeal...
It probably didn't really hurt, but you know, the sound of the drill in my head, on my tooth... *Shudders*
Afterwards, I went straight home instead of going back into work...I really needed to lie down.
To be a dentist? Hmmmm, what makes someone decide to spend their working life looking into someone elses mouth and moaning at them?

There was a discussion on radio Five Live the other night about dentists - many, in particular private dentists earn in excess of of £70-£80k. This might be the reason why they enjoy looking into someone else's mouth...
