Well
Just got back from dentist after "we'd better fill that just in case". Not a happy bunny, the injections were bloody painful, it cost £80 for a White filling. WTF? My teeth are White why would I want a metal filling? the drill made my palms all sweaty and my toes curl and my mouths all numb on one side and feels all swollen and droopy bet I look like a right bus ******
Mouths going to feel numb for at LEAST 4-5 hours!!
Grumpy
lucky bugger- heavy energy drink consumption in the early nineties left me with a mouth-full of metal
EDIT - refrained from joke regarding feeling a little prick
Has my first one the other day.
Did not believe the guy for a while.
Was pretty painless though.
MTFU

Oooh, I love getting fillings. The taste, mmmmhhh!
I had a 14 year break from the dentist. I was ecstatic when she said I needed 2.
'Do you want white or metal, sir?'
'how noticable is the metal?'
'You've got 2 already!'
'Ahhhh, metal then!'
I hate dentists after being scarred for life as a kid.
I had to take my Eldest Daughter on Wednesday to have an extraction. It was horrid.
Yeah... but metal ones... yeuck.
* Unsightly
* Mercury poisoning
* Electric shocks when biting on tin foil (apparently)
Have one small white filling.
yeah you get to tickle metal ones with your fork when you're eating. dzzzzz, dzzzzzzzz.
metal ones last way, way longer
Not forgetting the fun you have trying to drink the red mouthwash they give you with half your lips not working!
I tried to have a cup of tea but I was just dribbling over myself LOL
Does it hurt when the jab wears off?

Too bad - you should have let it develop into root canal treatment - then you'd really have something to whinge about 😉
i had five white fillings @ £290 as a halfway be free metal ones on the NHS and paying fully private...
also had them without injections - one was must unpleasant during drilling... the expensive one..
think £80 is cheap - private places charge loads more
lead amalgum filling also causes stack emission issues for crematoriums... 😆

Shouldn't do if it was not too big a filling and you have a decent dentist.
Some of my fillings are rather large and once the jab wore off they felt a bit "bruised" but it soon passed.
Dunno what happened up there ^
Re filling. Expect pain.
emsz - I hope I don't sound too unsympathetic, but in the 1960' and 1970's when I was a child the dentist would fill children's teeth on a regular basis as they got paid per filling and/or extraction, children were seen as fair game.
Like Lowey, I had several bad experiences with dentists and am still paying the price now with a implant that went wrong. That was £2,000 and has cost £600 to put right.
You'll be alright by tomorrow. Take a couple of painkillers.
Yep, agree with bunnyhops comment on dentists drilling for gold in the 60's, 70's & 80's! I'm living proof of those idiots!! (mind you I didn't help with all the Spangles either!)
Now just had a 'bridge' fitted - smugly thought i was covered on Denplan until the receptionist hit me with a completely unexpected £300 bill - wtf is insurance for!!!
