    Well the hour of reckoning has passed... I only needed one tooth drilled through to the core, the other suspect area merely needed professional cleaning. The filing down was done easily enough (it was actually part of a previous filling that I forgot to "bite down" before it had set. As I only had one done I could bare the half minute of sheer unadulterated nerve tearing pain as he ran the drill bit back and forth across the bare nerve purely for effect, so I didn't have to pay for anesthetic, which was good, but still this afternoon's little session set me back £60 ($100 ish). I asked why it might be that I seem to be so unlucky with my teeth, and received the "it can be genetic" story. I have slighlty softer teeth than most too because my mother had a light case of the flu when I was living in her tummy just as my teeth were developing. It looks liek there is nothing I can do to prevent it. :(( David Wulff http://www.davidwulff.co.uk "Desktop Bob told me to start fires" - thematt
