The tooth isn't really bothering me at all at the moment, but recent x-rays have shown a hole forming right in the spot where it butts onto the tooth alongside it, where it is impossible to clean properly or treat, so it is only a matter of time before it starts to slalom downhill - better to take pre-emptive action than wait and risk infection and pain later.

Of course, NHS waiting lists being what they are, it could well go critical before they fit me in!

I'm so looking forward to the move. As much as I love the area I live in now, my flat is a dark, dank little shoebox that I outgrew a long time ago. I am so ready to leave it isn't funny!
