Dean had to go to the dentist yesterday to have his tooth filled that he had a temporary filling in. He went in the morning and they removed the temporary filling (done as an emergency fill by another dentist) and discovered that there is not enough left of his tooth (molar) to build on and the only option was to have it pulled. Well he had to have needles of course and our dentist doesn't do extractions so they tried to get him into a collegue straight away while the anaesthetic was still active but of course they couldn't fit him in until the afternoon, so he had to have another whole bunch of needles.
So he had the tooth extracted in the afternoon and came home feeling a bit sorry for himself. I don't blame him really, it is not nice having your teeth pulled! I guess on the bright side at least we won't have to spend quite as much to repair that tooth (it was going to cost quite a bit!). When I mentioned it to him I think that did cheer him up a little!
He has been dosed up on painkillers to help with the pain and as he is on a soft food diet for 3 days I made him scrambled eggs and a non dairy smoothie for dinner. ;-) At least that went down well as he hadn't eaten since breakfast thanks to his two appointments.
