Marcel Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 I know your not strong on dental hygiene...lol ( Ren) but is everything under lock and key in stores like America?

Depends on WHERE in America you're talkin' about.... out here in the boonies, it's still like it used to be....helpful & friendly service. Definitely a night/day difference from the left side of OR. Don't get me wrong, there's still crime just about anywhere...but in a town of only 2,000 people, the crime rate pales in comparison to the big cities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next to no crime or vandalism in the town where I live (2500 population) but travel a few miles down the road and the story is different. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it because the area you are in is frequented by Canadians? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 It is not too bad on our street, but estate as a whole has a bad reputation, drugs, antisocial behaviour being the main problems, and it not always the young un being the problem. Dental hygiene, lack of dentist taking on new patients, and very expensive for treatment. This is my dentist. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't pull my own teeth if I wanted to...had a few root canals done over the years..the dentist said he never seen long roots like this...he had to make a special tool to get to the bottom of the root...lol.

Catteeclan Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago I think the politicians, insurance services and utility companies have crime pretty much sorted over here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very close to the truth sadly. I am lucky that there is very little crime where I live but that is mostly because not many people live here or can afford to. You can find plenty just a few miles down the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standard price for dentures at the practise my wife attended was £300+. And that price was over 8 years ago, ain't got a clue of today's prices.... I need a partial set of dentures, but the price is out of our pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckster Posted 12 minutes ago Share Posted 12 minutes ago We don't even need a police force in Scotland apparently, that's why they barely fund it, just enough to investigate hurty words on Facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
