LATEST MOAN FROM YOU AND ME 2020

I had to go through lots of heavy traffic this morning and was in a rush. I'm sure people thought I was a maniac but you know, even a Dodge Caravan can burn rubber!

When I used to drive to downtown Toronto everyday, my ride was a piece of junk so I didn't much care about anyone trying to bully their way in. No signal, no getting in. Signal, yes, please come in sir. Anyway, after a time, the cab drivers kept their distance Now, over there, I thought every vehicle I was in was going to crash as I just couldn't adjust to cars driving on the side opposite here. Scared the bejesus out of me a few times!

 

Nope, not joking, but I have to say I don't get many problems with my teeth, the teeth that do give any problem is the one's the dentist filled when is were very young

 

You're very brave indeed @Jiffy

 

I took it that Lori meant when she was over here @shiney ....but then again I often read things wrongly.

 

Before i re married i never used to have check ups at the dentist, i only went when there was a problem that was 32 years ago.

 

My Mum took all 4 of us to the dentist every 6 mths. The dentist had his surgery in his house and his wife, who was also the Mayor, was his assistant. Their house was a huge ( well it seemed huge when you are so small ) Gothic style one and looked quite spooky but thankfully they were lovely people!! We were each given a little brown envelope full of calcium 'sweets' after our check ups .

 

Yes our Dr was a neighbour when I was a child too @shiney . He has a really thick padded door to his consulting room ( I now know it was for soundproofing back in the day).

I'm like you and go regularly to my dentist and hygienist.....look at my smile !!!

 

NO, it's just that the pain releaf does not work well on me I always have two lots sometimes more and then it may work or not, that's why I was carried to the car, so when I was young the nurse didn't like me squeezing she hand when dentist made it hurt , in pain at the dentist so I may as well be in pain at home so now I can control the pain myself

 

I know what you mean pain relief is a bit hit and miss with me too. A couple of years ago a new dentist to the surgery kept giving me shots that didn't work and in the end I was referred to the hospital. Another time I was given several shots that seemed not to work........until much later in the day!!

 

I always ask my dentist for Cocaine (because I'm not allergic to it).

 

Dentists, well dentists back in the 60s and 70s ruined my teeth.

Every time I went they would drill and fill, drill and fill.


Most of my teeth were pretty much all fillings by the late 80s, I think they just got paid in those days on how much mercury they used.
It was a racket that they jumped.

Strange thing is, I've still got left the remaining ones from 20 years ago and haven't had any drilled in years.

 

I had the same experience @pete. Still got alll of my teeth (other than wisdom teeth ,,splains some.. ) and now I never get cavities. I think it has to do with washing down the sweets with wine spritzers and only eating crisps whilst swilling beer
