There's something missing from that list - whiskey.
Preferably cask strength or above!

That would be fab - but no booze allowed for a week!
See, nothing to worry about! And good news that no bone graft was needed. I think you may have trouble sleeping tonight though.
Anyone remember these cable driven dentist drills - that’s what was used on me as a child until 'Billy buzz' was brought in!

Just got back from the vets. Took my dog out for her daily walk and we were back indoors by 10.00. I even called in the vets on the way home to weigh her and pick up some flea/worm tablets. She was as good as gold. She did let out a Yelp as I was drying her down with a towel but I put it down to her ear that she has been having trouble with. Anyway, I gave her a treat and she settled down beside me on the sofa. When Mrs Mottie came home, she went all shy and gingerly waddled up to her with her tail between her legs instead of running up and making a fuss. Straight away Mrs Mottie said there’s something wrong and started checking her over....and found a bloody great four inch tear on her inner thigh - you could actually see the muscle! She was distraught so I ran the dog straight up the vets. I could kick myself, letting her sit there and not even noticing. Anyway, the vet said superficial tear to the outer layer - no obvious signs of ligament or vein damage. Picking her up later as sedation and stitches are needed.

You're not having much luck at the moment!.
What are you talking about - I’m having loads of luck. Some good, some bad........
All this for braided brake lines?
Surely not!

So, are you all done? That was quick! Mrs Motties mates implant was an ongoing saga of things going wrong and was done over a period of nearly a year, going back and forth taking infections and bone grafts into consideration and she has spent just over £10k on one tooth! It hasn’t been in a year and two weeks ago it fell out! She had just a spike sticking up where the tooth was. Looking back, she wished she’d have just had it removed and a plate fitted.

Sorry about your woofa - hope be ok, poor love
Yes, infections can happen, Mrs Motties mate must've been unlucky, poor thing. I been given antibiotics for the next few days and a lot depends on the dentist using clean tools, the skill of the dentist, no smoking or drinking anything naughty and good oral hygiene. I'm not allowed to brush my teeth tonight but from tomorrow onwards, can brush but avoid the wound and have to use a salt water gentle rinse after each meal/drink. If you smoke, have diabetes, cancer then it can stop the implant healing in the bone. Smoking causes 50% of failures of implants too.
Not everyone is a candidate for an implant, some dentists will carry on regardless coz of the money involved. I am hoping my dentist is ok - he's an oral/facial surgery specialist, teaches as well as works in A&E in the eve.
My brother has had an implant for 5 years so far..
Going back on Friday to fit a temporary bridge, then it's a waiting game. Takes approx 4 months for the bones to heal/fuse. If all goes well, I then get my final crowns fitted and then that's done.

I wouldn't have minded some of your bone
