    Wild edges, it was because of the hygenist, I stopped going to the private denist, she came out to collect me from reception floucing and ossing her very long thick hair, I had been given a cuppa, she and the nurse stop by, neither offering to take my cup, in the end, walked across the room, embarassed and put it down, neither spoke to me during th treatment, I asked what certain instruments were for, she asked why I wanted to know, I yelled several times, she sais "Some people find this sensitive", no dear, some people find your heavy handedness PAINFULL, tasked if she knew I was phobic, yes, told her I was having a panic attack, she flounced out of the door  suggesting I wait in the reception area, came out in complete meltdown, spent 2 HOUIRS tryinf to find my car, (which was parking about 5 minutes walk away) desided NOT to go back.

    I have had several hygenists over the years Nanny Beach, and they vary in attitudes and the treatments they use. Some just "scrape" and some, like my current one, use the waterboarding system! I have gone private for really deep cleans and was much luckier than you, they were very kind, and for the really deep stuff offered me a choice of flavoured injections (can't say l recognised the flavour though!). It's the luck of the draw, unfortunately.

    It should do. He's been teething constantly for 6 months and has nearly a full set now. In some ways it's probably better that he's got it all done so quickly rather than dragging it out for years like some babies.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I asked my hygenist to go back to the good old days when they just scraped rather than use the waterboarding system as it was just too painful getting.

    And I didn't get to bed until stupid o'clock this  morning as I had a problem with my printer - and a print deadline today. Joy! Feeling very tired now and may need a nap in the afternoon.

    I could get very curmudeonly about printers. We have some very expensive ones here that refuse to do what they're told.

    OH yes, and the price of replacement cartridges ! I am sure that at one time charities used to take old catridges (except for the type that l use, naturally !) but l don't think they do that anymore ?

    I used to buy ink from a company that would enclose a pre paid envelope for used cartridges as they would re fill them. 
    Havent look to see if my HP printer does a re cycling service, generic inks are a lot cheaper and sometimes better, as I’ve found out over the years.

    It's sometimes cheaper  to buy a cheapo printer for the ink and  chuck  out  the printer  I've heard.  Utter madness. Utter extortion
