So there we were, sitting in an all you
can eat for 30 Pasos (about 5 quid) Parilla when crunch, I break a
tooth off down to the root, ouch, well not so much at the time but now
really sensitive so, I have had to find a dentist here. The travel
insurance helpline, wasn't, I still can't work out what there role is and
I did ask, but anyway, I have found an english speaking dentist.
So, Off I popped and got her to look at
the problems, the tooth and filling that broke, (yes I did get all this
checked before we left)
The upshot, filling, no problem, large
astectic (white) filling at the back 120 pasos, about £20, yep £20!
but the other, well that needed a root canal filling and a crown.
So now I've had my first root canal
filling, well actually my second but I'll come to that in a moment,
now that's an experience in itself, an hour and a half in the chair
while the dentist rives away removing all signs of life in the tooth
and back filling to stop infection. Not the most fun I've had in a
while but a good chance to practice my meditative breathing, came out
quite calm really.
Anyway, the upshot of all this is that
this is an ideal chance to get all my dental work done to a high
standard at a reasonable cost and get rid of all those old mercury fillings, so now I'm a dental tourist! Also Ania
is booked in next wednesday to see if there is anything she needs
doing.
The Tango is progressing but very
slowly and that's a whole different story so I'll up on that another
time as, yes, I'm off to the dentist in a bit.
Love
Roy
