It's the result of Grandma and Mum'sTreacle and Gypsy Tarts back in the 50's and 60's, plus an extremely sweet tooth and smoking - so, only myself to blame.
Anyway, I didn't faff around three years ago, I went to the Dentist after spending a small fortune on extending the life of a few teeth by a matter of month's and said I don't care if you can save one or two, they keep hurting so take the remaining 12 out, which he did.
I had temporary Dentures put in and still have them!! Those who know, the gums shrink after a while and as the temp one's were moulded on the old gum size, I'm now keeping Fixadent in business!
I'll also say at this point that I did and will be doing these privately. The Service I got last time was amazing, went back about four times at no charge, you have a selection of size and colour - no waiting a few weeks for an appointment etc. etc.
So, this Wednesday I'm off to have a new set measured, they'll cost around £800 but I'm having them a bit cosmetic as in helping the jaw a bit.
The Dentist doesn't try and sell, he gives you options and you choose, if I feel another £100 to do something which will improve anything I'll spend it.
I like to see myself as a cost effective person, but I'm allowed a little vanity about my appearance, we're all entitled to that

So, big spend!!
Anyways, as I said I have a few pages about it, but thought I'd diary it here just in case someone here or a visitor has searched something.
