i had not been to the dentist for about 2yrs too, i had done near enough the same as you, and like i said it cost me £214, i would never go private,

I had a fear of not waking up...I had nightmares the night before I had to see him, I remember being sick as well. At least he gave me the incentive to look after my teeth
gas, you must be talking about 30yrs go , always use to make me sick

these days they can put a numbing gel on your gum so you shouldn't feel much
