Something similar happened to me.

A couple of years ago I was offered some bridging work on a tooth which would have cost, in total, about 200 quid. So I asked how much an extraction would cost - 25 quid. As the tooth was a front tooth, and was very near the back and as such wouldn't been seen, I went for the extraction. Saved myself a hell of a lot of pain and money!!!

Just saying like.

When you lose a tooth and it's not at the end of a row as a wisdom tooth is, the teeth either side of the one that's gone can then come loose and cause problems. That's why there is always a reluctance to remove teeth by a proper dentist, not to make money!

This. Nowt worse than bloody toothache.

Yes there is having a bad cough when you got three broken ribs.

Sneezing with broken ribs isn't much fun.

Hope it gets fixed on Monday Sluffy. Toothache is bad although my wife insists that giving birth is more painful.

Hopefully he's had it fixed by now.

Thanks xmiles - yes I had it filled.

They wanted to put a crown on it and told me that if I didn't the filling would not hold and soon fall out - surprise, surprise - 7 months later and its still fine.

I hate the money grabbing bastards - I'm sure most people would do what the dentist says - thinking they are being cared for - rather than having their teeth unnecessarily messed with so the dentist can earn as much money as they can.

Its disgraceful really - they should be saving teeth not maximising their income.

Anybody try the old tying a length of cotton round the tooth and to the door knob, then somebody would slam the door shut for you.

The tooth would have to be loose mind.
