Hooooray, my broken toof is fixed. My Dentist is at Brigg and I had an appointment with David, or Davakis if you want to use his real name. He is from Greece. He was very friendly, but I had to ask him to speak slowly and look at me so I could lip read. I am not very good at understanding accents. He was very accommodating, and we got on really well. A more mature dentist unlike the last one I had there, which I was pleased about. I asked him how long he had been doing dentistry. He said 31 years, and he loves his job. He has been in the UK for a great many years, so it sounds like he is fairly settled. That's ok with me, so now I know I can go back there again. I would rather keep to the same dentist.
He has made a good job of filling my tooth which had a big hole in it where the previous filling dropped out. It took a while to do the job and my jaw was beginning to ache with holding my mouth open for so long. He x-rayed the tooth and gave me three options. Leave it as it is, do nothing, or he can fill it, or I can have a crown fitted. As the crown was going to be mega expensive I said please fill it. The cost was £170. He said it should last a long time, but if there is a problem within a year I can go back and he will fill it again for nothing. Which I thought was a fair offer. Or if it doesn't stay put and I want to go for the crown he will take the £170 off the cost of it. Anyway, as it's a front tooth it looks much better now.
