Cost of dental care leaves young Mum considering having her teeth removed.

Editor Reporter from The Post

The 28-year-old mum to a four-month old is so desperate she is seriously considering pulling the rest of her healthy teeth from her upper mouth to be outfitted with dentures. That option is much cheaper than getting root canal surgery.

While I live in Newtown, I can take the car to you if you please. With 2-people waxing the car, it should not take more than 2 hours to finish. I'll pay you $50 for your help.

If interested, please send me your phone number or email address through this website. Thank you.

Best wishes - Michael

"Just a spot of birding at our local park and this happened. I've got to stop dressing in green and thinking be still like a tree. I feel like a Disney princess (albeit years after filming when they have become old and crazy and someone no longer does their hair and makeup). I tried to scrape it off with one finger and it climbed onto that finger - it was like mobile chuddy or a sticking plaster, and I strongly resisted the urge to flick my hand. I managed to coax him onto an actual tree branch. His Mum turned up and growled. Called him an idiot.
