That is really shocking, maybe I should be glad I have to go to the dental hospital due to them having to monitor me during anesthetic. If they feel the work is minor enough then a more junior student is permitted to do the work but most of the time it is someone just about to qualify or the supervising dentist themselves with the students watching. They have adopted me quite well as it is important for them to be taught that they have to lower the chair carefully and how to cope with "drip feeding" me the anesthetic and my FM memory. smiley: happy I do pass a craft shop on the way to the hospital though so it can cost me. xx Flora
