I'm off to the dentist again, and I have a feeling there will be a "heated" discussion when he announces the need for more work. The problem is, he did a load of work, gave me a regime to follow and a prognosis that all would be well for years to come. 3 weeks later I have a tooth ache to die for.

With no insurance, it is at times like this that a trip back to a European dentist would work out the cheaper option! But as I have things to do, time is of the essence, so I will need to negotiate something with him. Perhaps he could do a cash job, or I could anaesthetise myself with a bottle of whisky? This video gave me some ideas.
