It's a good job my brother reads my online calendar. He rang me to say that he'd nearly accidentally gone to my dentist appointment, thinking that he was reading his own calendar instead of mine. Quick reorganisation of my plans to the day and rapid run to the dentist on my part to get there on time for my forgotten appointment!!! The tooth that fell foul of the work's toffee needed a crown. The dentist was lovely - reassuring about the work she would do, the promise of no pain, talking me through step by step what was happening. Suddenly I saw the needle. "I'm really sorry - there will be a tiny bit of pain as a bit of gum has grown over the broken tooth and I need to move it... but I'll give you a tiny injection and you won't feel it" (I recommend not reading on if you are of a queasy disposition) She opened a cupboard and began sorting out a jumble of wires to free a rather worrying looking black box. "Cutting the gum would make it bleed and we don't want that, so I'm going to use this instead. You won't feel anything or get any bleeding at all. I just hope you like the smell and taste of barbecues!!!!" Hmm... I taste rather good cooked!
