Chewing minty gum Is Recommended By my dentist make sure you buy sugar free It is better than eating sugary chocolate and candies. If you eat sweeties and don't brush you can get big caviti e s which will need to be filled so get busy chewing n/a in Get into shape Contest Sponsored by Maureen McGreavy 8/8/18

I see were inspired to write a poem about your toothache Jan. A fun entry for this contest! I haven't been able to come up with anything for this one. I hope your tooth gets better and you don't have to have it pulled. xxoo : )

I wasn'tsure if I'd got the form correct. I just have a hole no pain which is lucky as I don't have an appointment until 21st:-) hugs Jan xx

People would do well to listen to your advice at an early stage, Jan; like that there would be no teething problems:) Hugs // paul

Do you have to pay on the I.O.M For Dentistry Jan ? You do here and you need the best part of a Mortgage to cover it if you actually need any work doing . Better of just gluing some chewies onto your gums

Looking back it would have been better to have an apple instead of all those sugary sweets but then they didn't half taste nice. Chewy blackjacks comes to mind. Good luck Jan
