I had a tooth extracted a while back with only localised anaesthetic for comfort (a bit like treating a sledgehammer blow to the head with Solpadeine). The dentist had to practically climb on top of me to yank the bugger out. While stumbling home afterward my dad drove past and stopped to ask if I was OK. i opened my mouth to reply that I was not feeling the remotest bit ******* OK but all that came out was a load of blood and saliva. He was so scared that he just said "oh dear" and drove off! Hi Sinead,

Last week the dentist finally felt it was safe enough to do the extraction of my lower wisdom tooth. Talk about blessed relief. I, too, wrote a column about the experience: http://dog1net.blogspot.com/2005/11/worm-in-tooth.html Enjoy your blog. Interesting and well presented content. Scot Sinead,

What a relief, as it meant I could munch my way through Thanksgiving dinner quite nicely last Thursday! Hey Sinead –
