I have been kicking around for months with a dodgy tooth but found myself extremely reluctant to visit a new dentist. (I have been with the same dentist in Glasgow since I was 16.) Anyway, I decided that it was time to find someone to treat me in New Zealand and off I trotted to a Brazilian boy called Elizandro. I wasn't surprised to learn I needed a filling, but the major revelation was that I would also need a wisdom tooth out. For some reason, I didn't think it was going to be a big deal so shot off early from work to have my extraction. How wrong I would be! I think, in the grand scheme of things, mine was pretty standard, but nothing can quite prepare you for someone effectively attacking healthy teeth with a set of pliers. When Iain got home later he said it looked more like a tusk than a tooth. See for yourself....
