In April I broke a top molar, rang my dentist and was advised to take pain killers and file sharp edges with a clean nail file, and call again when in pain-that's our marvelous NHS for you.
I have an appointlment tomorrow to see a real life dentist, but only because I said the pain was unbearable and I think it is now infected- even then I had to beg.
Do you think 'll have to keep my face-covering on to protect them?
If it is anything like our dentist, they will tell you that your face covering isn’t good enough and that you have to use one of theirs; and they will add £5 to your bill.
Ouchies indeedy! I had to wear a face covering walking into my dentist and filling in the always-present-forms. When I was in the chair, I took it off and they were already in masks, visors and gloves........but then they always have been, so I don't think much has changed. Then again.....my NHS dentist was so bad and caused me so many problems, I now pay for private. Wishing you all the best and I hope they sort you out soon. What a long time to wait!
That photo is so cool. I’m sorry it was so hard to see a dentist. I just had my regular cleaning last week. We had to wear a mask (ours were fine) in the waiting room and when we walked anywhere between exam rooms. In the procedure room I could take it off, but they were all had masks plus face shields and gloves. In addition, every single room has an air purifier unit. They also took my temperature when I came in. It seemed quite safe actually.
@shutterbug49 thank you for liking the photo, took ages to set up!! @koalagardens yup honestly!! I'm not in pain, except when hot cold or chocolate, but glands up in neck for 6 weeks!! @casablanca well see........ @julzmaioro except for bank balance!! @marlboromaam hope so to @phil_sandford probably,they keep advertising to improve my smile!
This is an amazing shot. I never heard of a self dentistry kit, but it helps me understand how you got this photo. I chuckle at your question about the mask. Good luck.
Fabulous photo! Good luck in the dental office. Thanks for the challenge. Since you gave me the challenge of “Play” how about you doing something with the word “Drudgery”?
I think your photo is fantastic it tells your story perfectly! It’s also a good advertisement for people in this country who want to have nationalized healthcare. They don’t realize the drawbacks they might encounter such as this. I hope you get everything all sorted and there’s not too much pain involved for you physically or financially❣️
Hope it goes okay

All filled less than 10 minutes but it's not a permanent solution, but it'll do for now. Thank you for your sympathy x
