I go to the dentist rather a lot. Not because I have bad teeth as I grew up in Melbourne with flouridation and I have marvellously strong and healthy teeth. (that glow in the dark - not really)
But because I lost a tooth in an accident when I was a kid and have spent practically my whole life getting it replaced by different means.
The dentist I have is really nice - but the work isn't very good. I get something done, I eat a sandwich and it breaks. I go back and get it fixed. There is discussion of why it broke that involves what is wrong with me and my mouth and how if I pay a bit more I can get a better solution. So I pay a bit more and I go home and it breaks.
So then I go back, get it fixed again - and then totally change my behaviour to try and ensure it doesn't break again. I now eat Toblerone one piece at a time, with my side and back teeth only.
And at no point do I entertain the idea of complaining or changing dentists; as he is a terribly personable fellow and he always manages to make me feel that whatever has gone wrong is not his fault, and is fixable; if I just invest a bit more of my money.
I feel a bit the same way about our current government.
Maybe it's time for a change.

And you should refuse to pay that dentist and complain to the Dental Council. I did it a few years ago, saved £300 and restored some justice to this world.
I love the clip. The problem is: Who else is out there? I agree with Kat: each one as muppet as the other at the moment.
Bertie and co just have their hands in my purse... xx
I too have a similar problem with my tooth. The crown keeps falling out...if it's not broken my dentist (a friend) will put it back for free. Last time it broke he only charged me half price...still expensive though! xx Jazzy
