On my regular checkup to the dentist he found decay! Under an old filling (I've been going there for 70 years so no surprise some fillings start feeling elderly, like me). So today an hour in the chair being drilled and scraped and stuffed with metal!

Metal? I thought they used the white stuff now? Around here the virus only infects NHS dentists, and the expensive private ones are immune.

My teeth are good overall but I have an overbite and gaps in the teeth. Dentists were talking prices about a brace and long treatment. The quote was thousands of pounds, dollars and euros.

The more they mentioned the prices but the benefits of getting fixed; I thought what else I could do with the money without feeling the pain.

My partner said that if they fixed then it wouldn't be me. I do envy people with great teeth and smiles.
