Bbaahhhh!!! Rant!!!!

I know it's been mentioned before regarding teeth problems with drinking but just wanted to have a rant!!... Scoffing on chocolate last night & crunch!! a tooth snapped off!!! Wouldn't be so bad but it is slightly on show.. Look like what's his face from The Pogues!! OH well, money saved from drink will go towards getting it fixed & will have to smile & laugh with my mouth closed until then..

As we say here, bugger. I'm sure you had better plans for the money, but once you start going to the dentist regularly it does seem to prevent problems developing.

sorry to hear about your tooth, jezza. It could be alcohol related (eg. Wine is very acidic and erodes enamel), or maybe not

Try to get it looked after as soon as you can, so it doesn't become infected or anything

take care of yourself...

Hate to say this, but I lost most of mine and I wasn't even an everyday drinker

Ended up with dentures at the top, so learn from my mistake PLEASE!! x

I just had my yearly checkup on Tues. and was slightly terrified of what was going to happen as I was a big wine drinker.
I got lucky. My teeth are fine. *WHEW*

*still sobbing* I don't yet but it looks as though that's the only option.. I'll find out on Monday.. Plus no doubt there will have to be other treatment as I I'm not a great fan of the chair & paying somebody to inflict pain on me.. Well, not in those surroundings anyway!!
