Also, Megan Pappas is currently making away to the dentist for the first time in nine years. Megan. I don't know if she's listening to us. I don't listen to us. Feel like this is a conversation that we're eavesdropping.

Let's see what she's going to say to the Uber driver. Feels very voyeuristic. It does. Feels high risk too. Something could be said at any moment. or something could not be said we just as into nothing the worst case scenario

Megan we'll follow the coverage of Megan going for our first dental appointment in nine years we'll find out today honestly we've said whatever it is if it's all great glowing we're happy to hear that

but if it's bad and ginger vitrocy then we'd like to hear that as well so far this is the coverage this is the rolling coverage Megan yeah we've lost the roll There we go. There we go. Shockey rolling coverage. I just wanted to know, too, 0,800 the hits. DIY dentistry is the topic. 4487. We had some incredible calls before 7 o'clock this morning.

Happy New Year, guys. Lovely to have you on, Pete. Did you try something by yourself in the dental game? Yeah, well, I'm a great fan of the dental floss when the kids were young and stripping it around their teeth and tying it to the old doodle drawer because it's about the same height as them and giving a slam. Oh, you do that? I did lose a tooth once and the child was a bit upset so we had to do a dummy tick-tack

and I'll put that under the pillow to get a bit of coinage from the tooth fairy. You fooled the tooth fairy. Good play. So it actually works. How are the kids feeling with, you know, they're standing there, they got string tied around their teeth

and you're about to slam the drawer. Are they nervous or they're on board? They're a little bit nervous because it takes a little bit to tie it around the tooth, especially a kid's tooth. And then yes, but it's got that minty, minty taste, so it's not too bad, I suppose. Yeah, how many teeth do you reckon you've pulled out that way, Peter?

Probably about a good 10. Oh, wow. Good on you. Good on you. It's a bit of shock, but you do the old one to three count. You know, on three I'll do it, and then you do it on one. Oh, yeah. That's right.

I feel like the kids are all keen to lose the tooth, and then when there's blood, they're like, ha! Put it back in. I suppose, you know, doing that, it's quick. It's over with really quickly. Otherwise, if you're pulling it out with your hands, it can be a bit of a, you know, a laborious process. So good on you, Peter.

There we go, that's Peter's one. We've got texts involving pliers, granddad's and pliers. Seems like a wonderful combination. We're back to the rolling coverage of Megan's first dental appointment in nine years. Where are we at in the Matrix, Megan? Hello, I'm just filling out my medical history. I don't have hepatitis. I don't have sickle cell.

hemophilia, I mean, not that I know of. So that's where we're at. I've met the lovely Fiona. And this place, the city dental lounge, I can see Rangiotto. We are up in the air. It is beautiful. So I'm feeling quite relaxed at the moment. Set the scene.

Must be nice. Must be very nice. So nice. How's your mouth feeling? Fresh, because I brushed. I brush my teeth. You'll be pleased to know, so I feel minty fresh. sorry I'm trying to fill out my medical history

do I have a problem being reclined absolutely not that's preferable now is Fiona wearing a mask around you or they're all with your disgusting mouth is being keeps calling it hazmat suits or anything from them but they all are no hazmat suits no masks so far COVID protocols just a couple of metres distance social distancing that's I think

now can you give us a brief timeline When are we expecting results of the appointment? Well, I believe once I fill this in, I'm going in. Okay, minutes away. Is she due hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of dental work? We are about to find out. We're about to find out.

Well, do you continue filling out that form? Okay. Exciting radio. Yeah, form filling. Acid reflux. I hope that's the only filling you get. And Megan's gone to the first dental appointment we booked her in for this one in 10 years. We're hoping for the worst.

Megan, come on him. Hi, I. Some sucking going on there. Uh-uh. What's happening, mate? Blowing. Sorry. Blowing. So this is the check-ups.

It's just underway? She's blowing air. Is that supposed to, are you trying to find if I have any hurdy bits? Yeah. Yeah. Just also having a look. Yeah, it helps me see better. Yeah, it helps her see better.

Yeah. Oh, so. Would you describe my mouth as disgusting? No. Yeah. Yeah. So suck on that Ben. Disgusting, disgusting mouth.

Uh-huh. Thank you. Okay, so is Francesca doing the report? This is Fiona I'm with. Oh, you're working with Fiona. Okay, now is Fiona... Can we just hear... Can we talk to Fiona?

Is that right? No, it is Francesca. Yeah, I thought so. We spoke to Francesca all week and you just started calling her Fiona. I don't know. I don't know why. I haven't even had drugs.

Oh, do you want to talk to Fiona? Oh, God, geez. Oh, God. Oh, no. Do you want to talk to Frances? Yeah, I think you should stop talking, actually. She might be a safe of your hands. Okay.

I'll hold you up because she's like fully pinned it up and hygiene stuff. Francesca or Fiona, whatever you want to go by. Yeah, I prefer Francesca. Yeah, fair enough. So far, so good? So far so good. I'm currently, you know, right in there. And everything's looking good.

She's got a beautiful smile and she's got very clean teeth. So it was a two ticks. so far. So you're not... So you're not... And now at this stage, in your professional opinion, are we heading towards a clear result? Well, you know, I can't speak too soon,

but it looks like we're definitely heading in that direction. Wow! Okay, all right. We'll keep you up today. That big disgusting mouth. We'll find out. Seems to be pretty good. It seems to be pretty good.

There's some noises that we don't probably want to hear on radio. That sounds disgusting. Ah! I feel like I shouldn't be listening to this. No. Megan hasn't been to the dentist in 10 years, so we finally booked her an appointment and we're crossing life. To Megan? Sounds like we back out in the office, are we, Megan?

No, I just had an x-ray. I just had an x-rays done. X-rays always find a bit weird they just leave you in the room. Like, open your mouth and then they just leave you. They're like, where are you going? on the two-sixth. Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Well, they work with it every day, so they know how bad it is. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Sorry, is X-Ros standard, or did I have to get one because you saw something? X-Ros standard. Oh, my God, thank God. Okay. Oh, I don't think this is going to the way that we wanted to go, Ben. I knew this was going to go this way, though.

Deep down, we all knew this is going to get this. Oh, who knows, the X-Rose might bring us. At the same time, we don't want Megan to spend thousands on dental work. Oh, you're right. Shut up, Ben. Yes, you do. Oh, no, she's going to feel my gums, okay. This is where I get the ginger vitus diagnosis.

Okay, she's going into the gums. The gums have been... The gums have not been tended to in nearly a decade. How long does the checkup last? I don't know. She's like, I haven't been it to here. She's an ab one. I know.

I say, I'm going to poke it and it's probably going to hurt. It's probably going to bleed. And then it hurts and it bleeds. And people get a bit confused about that. Yeah. Francesca really concentrating at the moment. Uh-huh. Here we are deep inside Megan's gums, getting an update on the gums.

The teeth are looking good. That's to bring you up to speed. No problems with the teeth so far. Oh, no, she's going to take a picture of a couple things. Uh-oh. Oh, God. Oh, oh, God. That feels like a cliffhanger moment.

We'll be back after this. Pages of what? No. What is going on in that disgusting mouth bend? Disgusting, disgusting mouth. We're about to find out High drama at the dentist I'm rolling coverage

We'll be back with Megan's first checkup The National World Cup The nation's checkup How's it going? She's having a look at the x-rays Like to me, they look phenomenal Look at those bad boys Phenomenomenal

Oh, look at all that tartar Oh my God What's Francesca's professional opinion On the x-rays there Megan? She's just looking Can you confirm Francesca that I don't have filling? You don't have any fillings, no.

Does she need fillings, Francesco? Yeah, whether I need them or not. Okay, so there's a couple of spots to keep an eye on, okay? So do you see this sort of darker spot on that tooth there? Yeah. You see that? I think we might need to put a really small frame. Oh! Oh, God.

Your generational run has just... My generational run has just run out. Oh, no! It's the beginning of the end. It doesn't want that dark. runs out because you haven't been to the dentist. No, wait, what did you just say? It's tiny.

It's tiny. I've got cute tiny little fillings. Just cute little tooth decay. All in all, after nine years are not going to the dentist, you just have one little, yeah, one filling, bit of plaque and tartar, which you'd imagine would happen anyway, right, yeah. Also, I just, I really need you to say that again, Francesca. She's got a very cute, upper wisdom tooth, and it's a really cute,

tooth and it's a really small one and it looks really cute. Oh, she's going to ramble on about that the next six months. She rambles on about her, what perfectly photogenic uterus? So what's the diagnosis? A bit of a bit of plaque, bit of tartar and a tiny filling? Is that what we're looking at?

She's just telling me that. Do you see this yellow stuff on the back of your teeth? Yes. Disgusting. This is tartar. She's calculus. Okay. Which is what builds up naturally over time. It builds up naturally

guys. Yeah, but they take it off when you go. They're like concrete blocks. They're like concrete blocks, so I can't brush them off. You can't brush the box. So that's why we recommend going to the hygienist in six to 12 months. But would you say it's disgusting? It's not disgusting.

It's very normal. Yeah, so stuck on that end. It does need to go, but it's really normal. All right, get the old jackhammer out on that tartar. So one cute little filling. A cute wisdom too. And quite a lot of tartar build up. Anyway, I'd say.

And a little cute amount of pub. Listen, all in all, not a bad end result for you. Well done. For somebody else, we did Dennis for a while, that's pretty impressive. City Dental Lounge. Shout out to City Dental Lounge. It is beautiful. And Francesca, who's been an absolute trooper.

She has. She can do my cute little filling. I imagine you want to get a little diamantee or something put on there or something? Oh, can I? And she's going to knock me out, so how good. Well, Megan, well done, for the most part. And we'll catch you back at work soon. Okay.

Good work, mate. Good work. Happy result. All's well that Ian's.
