Seeing as Jack has been kind enough to enquire within the comments and I am having a go at that fine art of procrastination I will update you all on the dental front.
As mentioned yesterday when I in the end tried to get treatment from my dentist it was confirmed that as I hadn't been since December 2005 my registration had lapsed. As my dentist is on holiday until Monday, when he will be asked whether I can rejoin his list, I was officially not part of the practice and so couldn't go in for an emergancy appointment with anybody else.
So they told me I had to wait until the evening and phone Dental Line. This I did at 6:30 and was informed by the very helpful telephonist (after I had answered 101 questions) that it did sound like I really did need to see a dentist and so I could come in at 8:30, (just as well it was 2 hours later because it did involve hopping on a bus into the city and then taxi journey out to the hospital where the surgery was last night). Anyway at 9:00pm I got in, got looked at, told I will probably have to lose the offending tooth at somepoint and got given a big packet of anti-biotics, which are working and a letter to give to my dentist as and when I get one again - hopefully Monday.
So finally got home just after 10:30 (good job I'm not busy) and today mouth is feeling much improved thank you Jack.
