The Curse of the Midget Gem!

So.........a few years ago a chunk of one of my teeth broke off whilst I was enjoying a Midget Gem. I went to the dentist and he said it needed a crown but for the cost I could probably have bought one of the Queen's second hand crowns so I went for the cheaper option of just filling it in with........oh, I don't know.......cement probably.Whilst over in the UK recently.....in Edinburgh....to be exact, I discovered the repair to said tooth had suddenly gone......it is time to visit a dentist again.I rang The QE II Dental Clinic this morning, I need to get in quick as my Pension Card will be forcible removed from me shortly when my 13 weeks Carer's Pension grace dries up."Today is all booked up" said the woman on the phone, "but I can offer you a student dentist tomorrow.""A student dentist?" I slowly repeated, with some concern in my voice."Well, a final year student," she said "they have about a month left of their course.""O.K." I said. My appointment is for 1.30 pm tomorrow.What could a Dental Student possibly learn in their final month?.......I hope it is not;'The Art of Drilling Painlessly - a four week course'or'How Not to Kill your Patient - a four week course'or'Hen's Teeth! (Completed) O.K, take a deep breath.....it's time for real people and not just that corpse you've been practising on!' - a one week practical course.
