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.
