eeeeek
i have a massive massive dilemma, which i am guessing to most of you lot will be no dilemma at all. apologies for dullness, but, you know. it's me, you're used to it.

so i've just been to the dentist for the first time in an embarrassingly long time - my teeth are straight, relatively white and they don't hurt, so i forgot about them. i've never had a filling, but i do shove far too much diet coke, chocolate etc down my gullet, so i was quite panicky about what the dentist was going to say. also he is a new dentist. i've only ever had the same one since i was 7, and he has now retired (no, amberl, he wasn't hot after all) and i have heard new dentists often tell you that you need loads of work doing when you don't.

anyway, he said that they are in pretty good shape, but he would recommend a small filling on just one of them. this terrifies me, absolutely terrifies me. do fillings hurt?? and secondly, the tooth does not hurt at all now. aren't fillings a slippery slope of turning a tooth that previously didn't hurt at all into a mass of pain and maintenance? or am i being really stupid if i ignore the dentist's advice... he said it was up to me, but he would recommend it. so, shall i MTFU and have the bloody filling, or wait a few months to see if it gets worse, or what?????????

If you don't get a filling
There's a chance that whatever tiny crack in the tooth you have will allow the inside of your tooth to get infected or rot. This is not good.

I used to hate the dentist, after I was given a temporary filling by my local NHS dentist, which came out a few days later (on Christmas Day too). I was in absolute agony, whereas before I had the work I was fine. As a result, the emergency dentist pulled the nerve and cleaned up the tooth.

I was supposed to go back to my proper dentist to get it looked at, but I was convinced he was an evil bastard, so didn't go. A year later I end up breaking that tooth in half (found a bone in some chicken...), but still didn't go to evil bastard dentist.

I got an abscess in the gum by that tooth some time after that, and eventually signed up with a local private dentist as I'd been struck off the evil bastard's NHS list. He was much nicer, but said he had to extract what was left of the broken tooth, so now I'm missing a molar. He said it could have been saved if I'd got it looked at from the start.

So, MTFU and get it done!

but what i am reading there is, "before i had the work i was fine"... this is my concern, that the tooth is better now than it would be if i had a filling and started messing with it!

maybe i should go and see a private dentist in london and see what he says.

but then he might recommend MOAR fillings. in MOAR teeth. oh god. then what would i do?

It wasn't the most fun experience, no
partially because the first anaesthetic didn't work and I was horrendously ill from the penicillin.

Mine doesn't even do that for just a minor filling
They just sprayed some numbing spray onto the gum, so it just felt a bit cold at first, then I was totally pain free.

I've got loads of them
from when I was a kid, as I have calcium deficit and they kept cracking. I don't have to look after them in any special way, just go to the dentist from time to time to check everything else is ok.

It doesn't hurt either, unless you have a massive one done, you'll barely feel it.

In the meantime concentrate your efforts on the things you can do, chasing up the grant form and making the place as "short-term comfortable" as you can. It's a pity you haven't got any inflatable chairs - they'd be ideal.
