I wore braces as a child and had an operation to remove 4 teeth as my mouth was too small. This meant going to the dentists every two months for nearly 3 years – no fun at all. After that I didn’t go to the dentist for quite some time. But I’m trying to be good now and go every 6 months. I only have one filling and want to keep it that way.

visit resulted in 7 fillings and a clean but it wasn’t quite as bad as I remembered – my new dentist wasn’t a sadist like the last one.

Every time I think of dentists I tend to be reminded of Steve Martin in the 80′s remake of Little shop of horrors!
