Abu Dhabi: Pulling teeth
Posted by daveb on November 20th, 2008
Eating has recently been quite a painful experience for me and anyone who knows me, knows how much I enjoy eating! Like any good travelling xenophobe, I checked myself into the local British Dental Surgery here in Abu Dhabi to get my mouth checked-out. Turns out that one of my wisdom teeth had developed a sizeable, decaying whole and needed to be removed. For half an hour, Mark the Dentist pushed, pulled and twisted his surgical pliars to yank this baby out. Eeeouw, gross!
Kudos to Mark for his expert work in which, whilst feeling unquestionably uncomfortable, I suffered no pain. I can’t stop pushing my tongue into the gaping whole left in my mouth.

So here I am, sitting at my desk enjoying a real good Thai takeaway lunch. I click on this link, imagining it would be an anecdote about the difficulty of getting somebody to do something, and what hits me slap in the face? A bloody tooth! The Pad Prik just doesn’t taste the same now. I will take it home for dinner.
Cheers,
Colin

I echo this point (except that I’m eating sushi and I’m going to eat it all!).
Hope you guys are good, have a great time in India and give us a shout next time your in London.

At least you can eat solids — I was on the liquids for a day or two after this! (Well, alright, I did have a bag o’ crisps that evening against doctor’s orders…)

Well I take back the comment about you’ll just need a little filling! (ouch)
