Brian Moate… Remember these? School dentist had one. And in your eyeline was a gas cylinder with rubber mask !
Alan Esdaile… I’m sure they used to give me a lollipop after any procedure!
Colin Bell… Alan, And me! probably had an eye out for their future fat pensions when we all had to go back!
Jan Warren… – yes Alan, the torture of the school dentist scared me for life!! – and yes, I remember being offered sweets after they’d butchered you! Habloodyha…..
Terry Tollan… I still can smell the gas today
Matt Thomas… Every time I drive past the old clinic in Ore it gives me shudders. Remembering going in that room with the big heavy door
Diane Leigh… Matt, I’m the same with Battle Road dentist , look up to that window and fear comes back.
Stuart Moir… The torture chamber
Mike Waghorne… Yes and that was the start of my fear of the dentist as a kid in the 50’s & 60’s !
Mick O’Dowd… Aaaaaaagh!!!!!!!!
