They will not, currently, discuss any of my 'options', if I do go on to lose it, but I will have some 'options' apparently?! Like what, wearing a paper bag over my head, perhaps?<BR/><BR/>Dental treatment has become a bit baffling, here. Once upon a time it was all free, but how good was it? I am beginning to wonder. I have my Denplan insurance, but that doesn't cover everything. I wonder if it will cover the cost of the paper bag?<BR/><BR/>The cost of those braces! Did you have to go without food, to pay for them???<BR/><BR/><BR/>a mother's place - Do dentists have any idea how vulnerable we feel, when we are lying flat in their chairs, with fingers and machinery invading our personal space? How annoying is it when the dental nurse keeps catching your tongue in that 'sucking' apparatus? I can feel another blog coming on!<BR/><BR/><BR/>dusty spider - It wasn't the Royal Free. I'm afraid to say which one it was, in case any of the staff blog. They might take out all of my teeth, if I upset them!! <BR/><BR/>I have been incredibly upset since I realised that my previous dentist was fairly ineffective. It has helped me a lot to 'make light' of the situation, and I am pleased if I can entertain anyone at all with the story.<BR/><BR/><BR/>sweet irene - Yes, I'm 'off' Mars bars, at the moment!!<BR/><BR/>As I said, before, dental treatment has become complicated, here. My Denplan insurance doesn't cover me for everything. I had the choice of an expensive, private consultation, locally, or a free consultation in the city. My dentist thought that they would just advise her about treatment, but, in fact, the hopital said that my dentist could not carry out the treatment, so I have to go back there.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you like my stories!

I am glad you didn't though. <BR/><BR/>What a senseless sort of process this is and why can't it all be taken care of all at once? It seems to be a very costly and wasteful way to do things, but I must admit that it made for a very humorous post!

There is no such thing here unless you have insurance. Then it's rare that it covers Orthodontic work. My Pita just recieved braces. The price was $400o.00=2524 Euro's.
