Dajill Ali was young, enthusiastic and tried endlessly to get me to buy new teeth.
I was having none of it.
"These crooked custard yellow teeth of mine haven't held me back" I told him.
And I meant it.
Admittedly the gap between my two front teeth is wide enough to hold tight a pencil or something. So?
And my bottom ones, although a bit in and out, haven't stopped a host of lovers throwing themselves off of anthills over me.
So I stood my ground telling him all I needed/wanted was a wash and brush up and a bit of amalgam for £48
"A White filling would look better" saith Ali (£125)
"Amalgam" say I
"Ok....you have a lovely smile, ever thought about having them whitened?" £300
I couldn't believe this, here was I laying in his chair listening to his hard sell while the hole in my toothypeg gaped. NO pain though.
"Yes, I have"I said laughing.
"Thought about it. Hasn't everyone?"
He laughed too!
Then the bombshell...
"You will need to see the hygenist" he said solemnly and that will cost you an extra £49"
'Oh boy' I thought, the NHS is in the hands of maniacs a.k.a the Tories.
£48 for a filling and de-coke then more dosh on top of that to see a hygenist who will do nothing but a deep cleanse below the gum line.... and then tell me how to use a toothbrush.
I left the new building in Southchurch Road feeling a little cheated but back I'll go on Wednesday because I don't want to end up with a mouthful of china.

Mr H. will be late tonight due to malfunctions of the electric kind at work, so I think I'll do a lentil bolog for Mother and I.
At least she doesn't need any work done...The poor darling swallowed her teeth years ago. LOL!
Bugger.

Your photos display set of white teeth. Perhaps your dentist needs an optician
My teeth are, I suppose whiter than the average set of gnashers on account of the amount of brushing they get. Still fall to pieces though!
And your comment about the dentist requiring an optician is the funniest thing you've said in a very long while.
Well done you.
