The black chair

Dentist: "You can't leave it seven years between appointments"
Me: "I clearly can because I have"

Two fillings - I went because I knew I'd lost one and he found another which was loose so he replaced it. There was a lot of very overt selling going on - for an extra £60 I can have a private appointment with a hygienist (£20 deposit) or white fillings for £55 or a crown for £150. All very wonderful and, one might argue, not bad given the gap between visits but by the same token I've made it thus far without such fripperies........
