Margaret , Hope your feeling better after a nights sleep , hope you get a kick out of the following ...........

A man goes to an oral surgeon to have
a tooth extracted. The dentist takes
out a syringe to give the man a shot.
"No way! No needles! I hate needles".
the patient said.

The dentist starts to hook up the laughing
gas and the man objects. "I can't do the
gas thing. The thought of having the gas
mask on is suffocating to me!"

The dentist then asks the patient if he
has any objection to taking a pill. "No
objection," the patient says. "I'm fine
with pills."

The dentist then returns and says, "Here's
a Viagra tablet."

The patient says, "Wow - I didn't know
Viagra worked as a pain killer!"

"It doesn't" said the dentist, "but it
will give you something to hold onto when
your tooth comes out."

apologies to the Moderators, I know it should probably be in 'joke of the day' but since the original post was about dental problems , thought it probably ok to post on this thread . thx

A year later -
I have got an invite from a local NHS dentist -23 months after I asked to go on an NHS list.

Last year I paid £3200 for posh dentures.
The bottom set is a partial denture which I a need replacement for.
Anyone know how much the NHS charge will be for a bottom set?
