3rd June. "Is It Safe?"

"Have you been flossing? Probably not? I'll need to book you in for a half hour appointment..."

"Oh gawd!"

The fact is I've kept my teeth longer than any previous member of my family be a very long margin.

Mother had them all whipped out in her twenties due to gum disease, likely from a combination of smoking and obsessional cleaning.

Father was struggling with heavyweight porcelain teeth at the age of twenty-one, after having all the nerves drilled out in some failed pre-war dental experiment.

Lucky they've got those white fillings now though.

Drill on and don't bother with that numbing injection, I hate needles.
