I'm in shock. I went to the dentist to get my troublesome molar fixed, knowing it needs a root canal. The dentist couldn't complete it today as, despite using the maximum dose of anaesthetic, couldn't get near the roots without sending me into orbit. The roots are just so inflamed and tender. So she put a dressing and temporary filling in and I made another appt for 6 weeks time. I also paid half of the bill . . . which came to £180. I almost passed out when she said that. Wish I'd asked how much it would be just to pull the damm thing out. Thank god for credit cards and jobs.
