Hi hello etc etc,
First off, what a cracking website, wish i'd found it sooner!!
I've been putting off going to see a dentist as like most people i don't like them ( nothing personal if any dentists read this ) but today after finding a wisdom tooth that was missing one of its corners, I've had to go and see one.
The dentist i've settled on is The Hub Dental Practice in Milton Keynes and having been in today for the preliminary stuff, they seem friendly, nice staff and the patients I saw coming and going all looked happy too.
So the treatment;
1. 2 small and 1 large Xray £18 and £15
2. New patient Examination £25
3. Remove wisdom tooth. ( multiple roots) £75
4. Replace 2 fillings and put one new on in. ( all marked as complex) £147
5. Several ( three) visits to the Hygenist for Dentomycin treatment as well as scale and polish etc. £195
Cost £475
I'm fine with 1, 2 and sort of 4 but i'm nervous as heck about 3 and 5. Root planing just sounds like something I did at CDT class with a fairly unsurgical tool! I have smoked although am have since quit, diet hasn't been great, like sugar with everything including with sugar and i'm diabetic - so more prone to gum infections.
I want to firstly check that the costs don't look exhorbidant .... and secondly how much discomfort i'm likely to feel from 3 and 5. I also don't like how they've specified multiple roots on the treatment form, does this mean they expect to have to go in with fishing nets to trawl my jaw for escaping roots?
Bearing in mind it's probably 20 years since I last had teeth out and equally long since I had a filling done ( hence why they need replacing) how far have pain management techniques come in that time .... it would be lovely to find out i'm not going to feel anything at all
Lastly I suppose I could do with the usual bit of reassurance as like most folk, I can think of many places i'd rather be on Monday afternoon than laying back whilst a trained gorilla manhandles one of my stubborn big teeth out
Cheers,
Pat.
