It'd be much cheaper than here - you'd probably save enough to pay for the holiday itself! Why not get the holiday in France, or better yet Turkey or Poland, and get your teeth fixed over there?

I still have nightmares. My dentist here in Canada says he always knows an 'Irish Mouth' tho I think that's all changing now. One of the best methods of dealing with a dentist I've ever heard is that you take a hold of his nuts (an area you seem overly familiar with on other bodies, tut-tut Granny!) and say very clearly at the outset: **Now we're not going to hurt each other, are we?** Granny:

My elder sister keeps nagging me to have my teeth done. She has a full set of dentures and they are the bane of her life. She takes them out in the afternoon for an hour and soaks them in Milton. Her little granddaughter regularly takes the glass (and teeth) into the TV room to watch Sesame Street. She likes the company. We are a weird family. Grannymar.

Then, once he's in the family, you are guaranteed a perfect smile forever. Baino: The best of Irish luck to you. After the injection, it's really a piece of cake. I was eating a fruit and nut flapjack from the health shop. That's me finished with health shops and health sites on alternative medicine! With the money I save, I will pay for the crown I have to have done next week, and the six extra fillings. It will be all over before you know it. Nancy: I would made babies with him.

I broke my tooth on a VitaWheat and vegemite biscuit! My sympathies! I start root canal on Monday 13th (a portend there perhaps). He swears the nerve is dead and it won't hurt but I've booked my anaesthetic just in case. Three weeks later and I should have an 'American' smile. Bastards just charge so much to make us miserable! And I have dental cover but it's nowhere near enough for complex work. Deja vous! I broke my tooth on a VitaWheat and vegemite biscuit! My sympathies!
