Good luck Joe, hope he/she can sort you out. I've been lucky really but still hate going...next week for me.

Joe...Yes..was one of my first treats to have all the tarr and stains removed from the old teeth...excruciating pain when the mouth hygienist jumped in there with her sledge hammer and pick and shovel to remove that build up... But very glad I did it as you have said... wasn't doing the appearance any good before...Now I can Smile again !!!

Ah don't fret Joe, it won't be so bad. I have receding gums (gum disease) thanks to smoking and am hanging on to my teeth by the skin of my .. well .. erm teeth lol ... what a weird expression that is thinking about it! Unfortunately I have oral sensitivities which means I can't use the good toothpastes and mouthwashes designed for gum disease so I have a sore mouth a lot. Corsydyl is excellent and will probably be recommended to you by your dentist. I have deep cleaning treatments (below the gum line) which whilst not pleasant aren't too bad. Good luck!

The dentist is never pleasant Joe2 but you will come out of there more confident than ever. With lovely clean teeth

Good luck Joe2 with the dentist, I too have to make that dreaded appointment to get the filings replaced (top one fell out the day after the first popped out after eating a toffee 3 weeks ago), Nozmo , didn't take your advice to get seen to asap, why does dentists create so much fear?!
