Dentist's appointment this lunchtime, to get impressions of my teeth taken so that they can make me a fake tooth to hide that gap in my front teeth. It's years and years since I've had impressions taken, so I wondered if the process had changed at all. It hasn't, really, except that it seemed a bit quicker. Maybe I'm less impatient than I was when

Huzzah for seaweed! Glad to hear it wasn't too uncomfortable :)

Hah! I'm going in for the first stage of this on Monday morning - getting twenty-five-year-old caps on my front teeth replaced. So I WON'T HAVE A GREY FRONT TOOTH ANY MORE and I can GRIN A BIG GURNING GRIN IN PHOTOS!

I must say, asking for copies of the pics hadn't occurred to me. I shall be sure to do so :-D

That's why I carry a camera at B-Movie!

(Why on earth have I never spotted you there? I must be blind as well as blond. Come up to me and identify yourself next we are both there.)

[j4]

Dude, you have spotted me there! We've said "hello"! (Or, given the level of ambient noise at B-Movie, it might have been "toaster". It's hard to tell.)

It would be weird to have that as an LJ icon, right?

And we couldn't have that. LJ icons are such a serious medium.

Actually, they're one of the most interesting popular artforms blah blah blah known to blah blah constraints of the medium yada yada two inches of ivory moo moo pls give me a column in the Guardian kthxbye.

-1 for failing to say "zeitgeist"

[don't tell me, -10 for spelling it wrong]

[keirf]

Yeah, it's spelt Zeitgoose.

Hang on, that's that other German word ... poltergeese. Yes, those things that used to fly over our house when we lived in Hanover, and made the pictures fall off the wall.

Oh dear, it's Friday isn't it.

I think digital cameras still have a shutter... well, digital SLRs do, anyhow.

A long, long time ago I had the gap between my front teeth fixed (they removed a bit of gum which was keeping them separate). That was all fine until I had a root canal on one of them several years later. Even _that_ was fine until a few years back when the one which hadn't had the canal done decided it wanted to move, and now it sticks out and looks daft. I probably should get something done about that except that my dislike of dentists is legendary. If they could knock me out and get the whole thing done at once I'd be happy, but if I have to keep going back and enduring them poking around in my mouth, I honestly don't think I could.

I am evidently weird in really liking dentist visits. I lie back and do nothing. No-one can phone me, page me or ask me stupid questions. It's remarkably restful.

[bibliogirl]

I can sort of see the "restful" concept -- kind of like when I go to have my hair cut -- but unfortunately I had a very unsympathetic dentist in my youth, followed by a completely useless dentist (took 45 minutes to extract one wisdom tooth) as an adult. That, plus the fact that my body seems to have issues with local anaesthetic to the extent that it takes twice as much as they'd use for most people to get the relevant bits of my mouth numb, has left me with a really major phobia of dental work :(

I am not alone!

[totorojo]

I like them too. I even kind of like the sensation of someone poking things around in my mouth. ... As long as it's not for fillings, which are a bit uncomfortable...
