it was amazing an american dentist had extracted a tooth that had a mercury filling in it and was leaking .he put it onto a special screen and you could actually see the fumes coming off of it.the tooth was a number of years oldxxxxx(:

Oh Gawd, don't talk about this - I had two fillings last week, one of which was quite a deep one! Glenys x

yuk,glad he got sorted in the end Lisa,but its getting harder and harder to get a dentist.mine has just stopped seeing nhs and you have to go on this plan but its £20 a month and he'll continue to see kids on the nhs for a while as long as parent is on the plan---sounds like blackmail to me

steedie i can tell you a horror story about my husband and dentist he had an ulcer which was giving him gipso he went to the dentist for antibiotics.didn't clear got worse so much that he couldn't open his mouth.went back to the dentist after two weeks.his face was twice the size it normally was.he had to go to hospital that day.they done an emergency operation.on him.turned out he had a cyst and an ulcer and it was infected and the poison was making it's way down to his lungs that the consultant said he would have been dead if he had left it longer than two days.to get the tube in to feed antibiotics they had to cut the side of his neck open.so i advise anyone that hasn't been to the dentist go.sometimes it could mean a matter of life and deathxxxxx(:
