I’ve just been to the dentist – something most people fear, but I have great faith in Andrew, my dentist. I’ve been putting up with a low dull ache in a crown that he fitted over a year ago. Putting up with, because I didn’t want to be told it would have to be replaced or worse.

This morning he ground a tiny piece off the occlusal face of the tooth, (I learned that occlusal is the part of a tooth that meets another tooth in the other jaw). It feels totally different. What had felt like a big tooth is now normal. I can’t bite on it in the same way as before and so am not having the same dull pain as before.

Such a simple remedy. Such relief!
