A priority of my ‘return to health’ from prostate cancer programme was to get rid of the mercury amalgam fillings from my teeth. This deadly poison, which I believe dentists are STILL stuffing into ususpecting patients’ mouths, was also creating an electric ‘battery’ effect. Well, the job has finally been completed and my jaws are metal free. Many excuses, like colds, being too busy, and downright cowardice, have at last run out and today I had the final quarter of my mouth cleaned out.
As usual, the pain and suffering was much worse in anticipation than in the event. Nick is a great young Greek dentist who trained in England. Skilled and sensitive with a state of the art surgery. He's even got a copy of Canterbury Tales in his waiting room! And his charges are less than one fifth of UK prices! In fact, patients are known to travel to Kalymnos for ‘tooth holidays’, having major dental work carried out including two weeks in the sun. All for less than the cost of just the dentistry in the UK and other European countries. We told him he should advertise himself as a tourist attraction . . .
