Yes, you read right. FIVE fillings.
The whole family have been to the dentist this week to check our teeth before we leave as we are not sure how easy it will be to get on a local NHS dentist's books. At first glance, the dentist said I had 2 cavities - I knew something was not right in that area. After she finished cleaning them, she said she had bad news! I had another cavity in the same place on the other side of my mouth and my tooth at the front that was damaged when I was 13 needed the 1/3 filling replaced too. I asked her if she could do it in one go and booked for a 2 hr appointment today.
When she started drilling (she is a brilliant dentist by the way), she got the mirror to show me yet another cavity adjacent to one of the others, making a perfect mirror of my upper teeth troubles! When she had finished, my upper mouth was seriously numb and rinsing was something of an art form. But it's done and my teeth can wait another year before I go back.

Sounds painful but probabaly a good idea. There must be too many enticing sweet and sugary things in the Philippines. How easy it is to get enticed maybe a lesson for our spiritual lives too.
