The bane of my life.....

.... my teeth that is (I blame my mother as hers are rubbish too)
Despite regular brushing, flossing and visits to my dentist, every time I go I need things doing. And worse than that, inbetween visits horrible thing happen to my gnashers too. Today while teaching my class i felt my bridge moving about, sure enough a few minutes later it had fallen out (to my horror) and I still had an hour of teaching to do with no TA to rescue me :(
I managed to get into the dentist to find that the post the bridge was sitting on had snapped (due to an earlier root canal treatment following an abscess .... see, I told you they were bad) and the only option is to have a metal post fitted and a new bridge.
So I've had the treatment and am feeling very sore, but worst of all is the cost, I do have insurance but due to 2 recent fillings can't claim any more this year, and I now have to fork out £800 so I don't look like the very attractive model pictured above.
Just think how much stash that would buy......
