Dentist or Death?

[Ole Man River]

I have been to the dentist in Rosario today. He told me he can fix all my teeth for â,¬3,000.
I said I'd think about it. Then I realised that I have saved up about that much for my funeral.
I thought, well I could have some of my teeth fixed but that wouldn't leave me enough for the funeral.
So, do I stay away from dentists as you can't have half a funeral?

How about getting them removed and set of dentures? Would that be less than £3k? Then at least you wouldn't have any more tooth problems. I think you need a hospital dentist to do it, knocked out wake up, no teeth! I discovered, in early middle age, that a lot of dental work I had done when younger was completely unnecessary but was done purely for the dentists profit. Not good!

Get a flight to India, 200 quid will get you sorted.

No joke

Is that for the funeral or the teeth ?!!

 So here I am in the black hole of Calcutta with all my teeth out & the waiter says "Madras, Tindaloo or Vindaloo" so I say, just give me the sauce & tip the rest down the khasie.

My mate works a lot in India and he wanted to sort his teeth out for his wedding, wanted to have them capped £7500 in UK £ 2300 in India from dentist trained in the UK and an excellent job it was.

 All the Polish must be in Wales......I have a Polish dentist!!!!!

get yer knasher's sorted mister, why worry about the funeral when it come's....you'll be dead !   

[TamaraEnLaPlaya]

Surely there's a business opportunity here! We sometimes get people asking on the forum for ideas for work/new businesses;
you could have Rent a Set, Second-hand sets, Time share teeth, Family sets, Trade in, Nearly new - only one owner etc. 

Alternatively OMR you could buy a blender and reduce everything to a smoothie. Be fun in a restaurant!
Seriously, invest in your teeth as BF said.

Well, if you went to the one in Rotundas, they're rip-off merchants. I had a crown done, they messed it up, made up some feeble excuse, and still charged me â,¬700, never again.

Depends how ole you are Ole Man River

60 - 70    I'd go for the teeth - you'll get your money's worth and plenty of time to save up for a big send off

70 - 80    I'd have my teeth done and leave my body too medical science

80 - 90    I'm amazed that you still have any teeth

Not wrong there a fact of all north west England Asian taxi drivers and bus drivers ,but apparently they are good dentists as well ,personally id have me knashers done ,who gives a nonsense what they do with you when your dead you wont know

Save money.

Go into a night club, walk up to the biggest meanest son of a bitch and call him everything under the sun.
That'll be the teeth sorted quickly and FOC.

All you need then is a walk to a boot sale and a rummage through some shoe boxes, till you find a pair of gnashes that you can squeeze your gums into.

All for an approx cost of £15 (not including the door price to get into the nightclub)

If you get your teeth done you'll also be the best looking corpse in the graveyard. (Unless you get cremated.... then its back to the drawing board.)

If you get tapped up for a funeral plan by say a UK company, also operating on the Mainland, be very aware..read the small print finely...then do the same again..ask them question after question until the holes become apparant..you can PM me for further details..I have done some research into these firms....or to be sure you could just buy the teeth


  Sadly scamming people on funeral plans is becoming the new timeshare..On the mainland they target supermarkets used a lot by ex pats and in the UK, they are operating from market stalls...Unbeleiveable but true

keep checking the chinky shop's, i'm sure with them selling spec's set's of chopper's won't be long arriving on the shelve's.
