Can you even tie shoelaces?

this is not answering my question.
are you saying "don't so fucking thick, take the medical advice and get the filling" or are you saying "if it doesn't hurt it can't be that bad so be an ostrich for the next 2 years" ?

I think you should probably ask a dentist what they think.

In my capacity as unqualified, inexperienced knob-end
I would suggest that ignoring it will inevitably result in things getting worse.

This ^
I only have one filling, and really should have got it done before I did. And no, it doesn't hurt - they anaesthetise you.

but has the tooth hurt since the filling?
i don't want the cure to become the problem!

There was some minor jiggery faffery
because I went to my local NHS dentist, whom it would appear is a total cowboy, jerk, and has no dentistry skills... but no, once I got it sorted after that, it was fine.

yeah, that worries me a bit
this guy seemed to know what he was doing, and only recommending one small filling is much more plausible than "you need 5 fillings and a root canal and you pay me, you pay me now". but how do you know til they've got stuck in there...

Go to another dentist
and ask for a 2nd opinion?

i think i will do this
i am going to the hygienist, he might have a comment to make too!

Good
But I'm prety sure the first dentist is not tricking you. He's not going to pay his mortgage with one little filling.

no, i think you're right
i just feel stupid for neglecting them to the point where i need a filling.

Going to the dentist more often wouldn't have changed that
the dentist only checks. As long as you brush them and wash them, I don't think there's much more you can do to protect them. And it's only one. I have 10!

Oh sorry I was being thick,
I thought that you were asking here because you hadn't already had proffessional advice.
(PsychoChomp, Tue 16 Nov 2010, 10:26, Reply)

that's ok, you can't help it
the point was that the professional recommended it, but said it was not so bad that it was essential, and left the decision up to me.

anyway, next question. what is the most humane way to murder a budgie? i left my new gucci glasses with a tiny but pretty square pattern of sparkly stones on each arm alone with it for 20 minutes and the little bastard has pecked out each and every stone...
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 16 Nov 2010, 10:33, Reply)

It'll probably die from eating the stones.

(PsychoChomp, Tue 16 Nov 2010, 10:38, Reply)

eeeek, the next question will have to be...
so i've just taken the budgie to the vet for the first time in an embarrassingly long time - it is green, dim and it doesn't hurt, so i forgot about it...

In my experience, the injection in the gum is a bit uncomfortable, but only for a few seconds.
Betond that I don't think there's much to worry about.
