Hi Kathyo
I never had the pleasure of visiting the Dentist ;D but on one of the other topics I mentioned when my Mam went to get some work done she was butchered to say the least .Will always stick in my mind.

Hi Jerry, Kathyo,
I to have conflicting memories of my visits to Army Dentists in the Camp. Some were bad and others were worse, that has all changed now.
I remember a story of a particular individual who reported to the dental hut for an extraction the dentist told him to let him know if it hurt with that the individual who shall remain nameless caught the dentist by the short and curlies and said you'l know if you hurt me

Hi All, I never experience a visit to the dentist at home, by the sounds of things I'm quite happy about that, one experience I had here was when given a injection for a filling I passed out apparently the dentist said the injection hit the wrong place and it was like a shot of adrenaline he gave me, at the time I thought my heart was going to pop out of my chest it was beating that fast, it didn't put me off the dentist but now I find myself gripping the chair and have to relax myself, I've been told I need a tooth extraction but not happening unless they put me to sleep, as seen a patient having it done in the hospital and there is no way they are doing that to me while I'm awake.

asleep is one way but no guarntee that that will be in the right place either, better take a chance and watch what your dentist is at .

Hi Andy, Guess I will never have that tooth out, what I seen in hospital was like butchering in this day and age, maybe one day I'll be brave enough, can't see that happening though.

Not trying to put you off Mary far from it. In the past couple of years I have had dental procedures done both in Kildare and Kilcullen and have to say if it is possible to about such a thing it was a pleasure felt nothing and leapt into the motor and away home afterwards no ill effects.
Do have the proceedure carried out whichever way you choose.

Hi Kaytho, Andy and all,
That Dental hut like the morgue (dead house) keep escaping the knocking ball, two nightmare places. The Da usually brought us to the dentist, he would promise a shilling if we did'nt cry, can remember being in the chair with the big tears sliding down my face, mouth wide open trying to say I'm not crying, its only the sting of the needle. Like Kaytho still don't like a visit to the dentist, as a child when watching the old black and white gangster films and the baddie got the chair, usually James Cagney, (the execution was never shown) I always imagined him sitting in the big black chair in the dental hut. A lot has changed since then with regard to dental procedures, remember a dentist lifting me out of the chair with the pliers attached to a tooth, the Da stepped in and reminded him it was a child and not a recruit he was dealing with.
Am getting the shivers just thinking about it. Went to the dental department in Naas for a few fillings, early teens, believe me it was'nt just army dentists who were rough.
Rose.

Hi all, I accompanied my wife Kelly (first name as well as her second name) to the Army Dentist in the Camp some years ago, there was a group of lads who were going overseas in the waiting room along with Kelly and I, her name was called and as she stood up to go in, one of the lads said," we will hear some screaming now" quick as a flash Kelly answered, when you have had three kids, having a tooth pulled is like taking a drink of water. You should have seen the colour he went. Fair play to her.
Regards JoeyK

Hi Andy,
Congratulations on your commission.
Twas Monica you spotted going into Tesco. My old man does'nt like going shopping with me, says I stand yapping too long. Can't imagine why he would think that.
Cheers,
Rose.
