Dental Deception
Dentists are well in the top 20 things that really piss me off.

I disagree with their extortionate prices for dental work, and I refuse check ups as they are getting money out of me to tell me that my teeth are ok. Which, I can decide for myself.

The last time I went was for a checkup, and off the top of my head they were under the belief that I require a few fillings (I am a twentysomething and I have never EVER had fillings in my life) and a root canal. Like, what the fuck?

I have a slightly darkened front tooth that was caused many moons ago in my mid teens where I got smacked in the mouth in a fight. This tooth has had X Rays in the past (did hurt at the time of the injury) and it shows some form of hairline crack. Otherwise, my tooth is fine.

The dentist deemed there to be a nasty as fuck abcess hiding in there (NO, there IS NOT. This tooth DOES NOT HURT. FUCKING LIAR) and the dentist basically made out my mouth is more fucked than Shane McGowan of The Pogues. Despite my own bodily senses, nerve endings, and looking at my mouth in the mirror telling otherwise.

Not forgetting the irony of being in full time employment and being ill = expensive.

Anyhow, they were wanting £120 off me for allsorts of work that I feel they didn't need to do. I actually did tell them something along the lines of "I cannot justify the cost of forking out £120 seeing as I am in no form of suffering whatsover".

The next appointment was for a de-scale and polish. I, convieniently went AWOL and never did show up.

Hopefully my mouth will continue to be fine *fingers crossed*
