I'm off to the dentist this morning to check out a 'grumbling' filling.

| Not by these dental nurses though. They probably caused the need for fillings in later life. |
My teeth are generally OK - not pretty like American ones but they do the job. I haven't had a check up for a couple of years though so I'm well overdue.
It's important to have regular checkups on our bodies and functions, although it doesn't always prevent problems. Yesterday I received a call from a good friend who has been given an awful result from a medical check-up. It's very disturbing.
I mentioned that I had a 'mole-map' procedure last month and will be visiting the doctors for the removal of a superficial basal cell carcinoma soon which is fortunately non-melanomic. It can give peace of mind by checking these things.
I regularly, on advice from my doctor, have blood tests to anticipate potential problems. I might ask her to add in a few other checks considering my friends experience.

Hope your friend is doing okay.
In my day the dental clinic, with all those young ladies, was known as The Murder House.
It's now The Luxon House. It always was the PM's residence until 1937 when Joseph Savage thought it was too pretentious and moved somewhere smaller. Then it was turned into a trainee center for dental nurses until 1976 when it reverted to the Premiere residence!
I think it's the Willis Street one that I used to go to.
