Yep, it has been confirmed. After three injection's the Dentist said i was a "Brave Little Soldier!" The first two injection's..........easy peasy! But the third one bought a little tear to the eye!!
I even got a sticker to prove it!! :>))

Was the third one one of those that feels as if it is going right up your cheek to your eye? Was it a filling or extraction?

there's a brave girl then. well done!

YOUR BRAVE JUST WALKING THROUGH THE DOOR

I FAINTED BEFORE JUST WALKING IN
I'M TERRIFIED

Well done, brave little soldier! I've just come back from hospital having had a small benign lump removed from inside my cheek. I had 3 injections and 2 stitches. I've been nervous about having it done since last night, but it wasn't too bad. Now I'm just waiting for the anaethestic to wear off and the pain to set in.

I think I was a brave little soldier too, but I didn't get a sticker, boo hoo :-(

Slaps a "I am A Brave Little Soldier" sticker on Wends head for everyone to see!! :>)) Oops, i nearly slapped it on your cheek!! Ouch!

It was a filling Ann and you have described it perfectly!! Cept it felt like it went up my nose before it reached my eye!! lol

I would offer to go with you next time Dizzi, but the last time i took my terrified friend to the dentist, i was the one who fainted!!

Last time i went to the dentist i had a stiff neck for a week where i went stiff lol You were brave Annie

Next time you go to the dentist Dizzi, lay back and think of this........



OH, I WISH I'D LOOKED AFTER MY TEETH
by
Pam Ayres



Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth,
And spotted the perils beneath,
All the toffees I chewed,
And the sweet sticky food,
Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth.

I wish I'd been that much more willin'
When I had more tooth there than fillin'
To pass up gobstoppers,
From respect to me choppers
And to buy something else with me shillin'.

When I think of the lollies I licked,
And the liquorice allsorts I picked,
Sherbet dabs, big and little,
All that hard peanut brittle,
My conscience gets horribly pricked.

My Mother, she told me no end,
"If you got a tooth, you got a friend"
I was young then, and careless,
My toothbrush was hairless,
I never had much time to spend.

Oh I showed them the toothpaste all right,
I flashed it about late at night,
But up-and-down brushin'
And pokin' and fussin'
Didn't seem worth the time... I could bite!

If I'd known I was paving the way,
To cavities, caps and decay,
The murder of fiIlin's
Injections and drillin's
I'd have thrown all me sherbet away.

So I lay in the old dentist's chair,
And I gaze up his nose in despair,
And his drill it do whine,
In these molars of mine,
"Two amalgum," he'll say, "for in there."

How I laughed at my Mother's false teeth,
As they foamed in the waters beneath,
But now comes the reckonin'
It's me they are beckonin'
Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth.

I haven't read that in years. Just as amusing now as it was then and very true. I hate going to the dentist.

(((((((hugs))))))) to the brave ones.

Very true indeed Cath!!! xxx

Thanks for the sticker, Prickly - cheered me up no end. Feeling peed off, one of my stitches has come out and I think the other one is on its way. Was told not to drink alcohol for 24 hours - well, you can guess - I washed down the paracetamol with a large glass of medicinal wine and now I feel worse. Can't eat, fed up, cards need to be written, but I don't feel in the mood, house is a tip, blah, blah, people worse off than me, my 96 yr old mother-in-law never complains about anything, why do I? And don't mention teeth - if only!!! Mine are grinning at me on the table - ha, ha, very funny! Group hug please?

((((((((hugs))))))) for WassailingWend.
