Body modifications??

I wouldn't want a USB port, something horrible would probably happen like I'd end up downloading everything I know and not uploading what I want to know.

I would love a tail, especially a prehensile one, but would we be asked if we could pat our head, rub our tummy and wag our tails at the same time?

I'd quite like wings, just to be able to glide would be good, although I'm afraid of heights and get vertigo wearing high heels, so maybe they wouldn't be so good for me..

*********************************

I got hold of a dentist, £98 for a check up and two xrays, was I happy with that? 'No', I said, 'but do I have any choice?'. They haven't got an appointments for ages so I'm not going to that one, I will have to find another, I got put off by the hold music being an advert for cosmetic dentistry and implants, 'Am I happy with my smile?' Being happy with my smile is a luxury, I'd be happy being able to eat comfortably.

I can't do electric toothbrushes, the vibrations make my teeth itch and my eyes go boggly, I can't stand the hygenists, they're aliens in human suits sent here to see how much gullable humans will pay for being tortured! I find them a bit like make-up counter assistants, all a bit plastic and not quite right. I actually dont feel more comfortable after seeing them either, my mouth dosen't feel as though it belongs to me.

I'm have to battle with PTSD again even thinking about having to go and find a new dentist and get asked all the usual BS, not be listened too, be told they don't think thats relelvant, get offended and scared if I growl at them, even though I tell them it's the only way I can cope with injections.

you will be able to soon. The teath I mean not the hinged noses

My dental practice went fully private a few years ago but my dentist tries to minimise the cost for treatment where possible, by recommending that I need only yearly checkups and can probably do without the scale and polish.

Years ago I switched to the Braun Oral B Plaque Remover electric brush, and along with flossing and cleaning between my teeth with interdental sticks, it seems to be doing a good job of preventing tartar build up. I am probably a bit obsessive about my teeth, so I do spend a lot of time brushing and flossing.

The trouble is as I get older, my teeth are more liable to break, and I already have had two molars replaced with porcelain crowns, at nearly £1000 a piece. The alternative, in the unlikely event of finding an NHS dentist, are silver coloured crowns that I would probably have to pay for anyway, albeit at a cheaper cost. My dentist says that if I avoid biting on hard nuts and things like that, my teeth shouldn’t break, so that is what I am doing in the hope of avoiding another crown. 

I don’t know how much my dentist charges for extractions, but mine has different prices for fillings depending on the size and material used to fill. I wonder if it is cheaper and easier for the dentist to extract a tooth than to do some fillings?

I think even the name of some dental practices implies an emphasis on cosmetic appearance rather than dental health. Many are called things like “ Loughview Dental and Implant Clinic”, which implies that the implants aren’t dental surgery. The outside appearance of these clinics undermines my confidence that the health of my teeth matters.

It would be quite good if we could have a usb connector on our neck , so you could plug in a dongle with extra knowledge, such as how to do something, or some maps, or a new language.

Basically a simple memory extension.

I used to think it would be good to have wings, but humans are too big and heavy really to fly.

I also thought it would be good to have a prehensile tail, I thought it would be useful.

I haven't been to a dentist since 1986. I suppose that's an unusually long time.

I either have to afford it, or do what my gr, gr aunt did and oik them out with a knitting needle.

I just tried looking for NHS dentists online, the list was years out of date, they listed my old dentist, he's stopped doing NHS work and I'm not paying him for his attitide and poor service, or his snooty reception staff. 

All the seem to want to do these days is try and get you to have implants and cosmetic work, they don't seem to have any real interest in teeth. |I also find it weird and wrong that its cheaper when going private for them to remove teeth than fill them?

Ha ha! For a moment I thought you wanted an AI generated body! Sod’s Law, we would get elephant teeth and have to get them filed down under local anaesthetic.

I sympathise with you about going to the dentist. Mine is quite good, as far as dentists go, and they always listen to me about how I would like them to proceed. I think this government has given up on seriously addressing the NHS Dentist shortage. It is ridiculously unaffordable for most people to go privately.
