I'll put it on a more approriate thread than the song game i am not ill. i have just broken tooth and my dentist doesn't have an agreement with my health insurance company:( How much does it cost, D? I have mine done on the NHS and he changed to a Private scheme by slyly wafting me into his Office and asking me to sign up to this sooper-dooper scheme. So I read the small print and it promised me for a mere £200 or whatever I could make appts and get a good deal blah blah.. I pointed out to him that apart from checkups I'd only had one filling done in the entire 12 yrs I'd been registered so therefore previously it had been far cheaper than his Private scheme. So anyway I struck a bargain with him. Instead of seeing him every 3 months I 'd see him every year for an annual checkup. That wiped the smile from his face but I can keep my teeth in reasonable order without constant checkups and so called dental hygienists. the biggest problem is that i havent been in a dentist for annual checkup for two years, so i will have to pay for my tooth anyway. but i lost half of the inner molar and i have it also filled. i hope i wont lose my filling. it doesnt hurt so much. i feel my tooth when i drink something cold. it is very expensive here in slovakia. maybe i will need my whole salary:( but i can use my benefit in my bank and the bank will pay me some amount of the price.

Two years without a checkup is pushing your luck. I read that most people can get by on once a year but to play safe its 6 mths for a checkup. See I always go once a year, you can tell look = ;D Whilst these are Mels = Its okay though - she has dentures!

A free checkup eh? I think mine costs around £45 (incl. something called the hygienist who sandblasts the teath to a gleaming white colour. I don't like the way they insinuate things when you've got your mouth full. ..hmm these nicotine stains are hard to remove, Mr. Young ...mmmm..lots of wine stains..do you prefer red to white, Greg? ...NOW IF I WAS IN A POSITION TO REPLY I'D SIMPLY SAY 'MIND YER OWN BLEEDIN BUSINESS!

Whilst these are Mels = Its okay though - she has dentures! Cheeky Monkey! I have all my own teeth.....i just haven't taken them to see the dentist in a few years. I prefer to clean them well 2 or 3 times a day and go to the dentist when i feel a twinge.
