    Q: Tell us about your experience, good and bad, with your dentist.
    A: My dentish is actually very good, I have received nothing but great care since joining this practice, however I feel it’s unfair that I have been forced to pay for private care due to it being practically impossible to register with an NHS dentist locally

    A: I have a disability, & I had to cancel a couple of appointments with my NHS dentist – I phoned prior to the appointments & I had explained that a ‘flare-up’ in my condition could happen when I’m stressed, & of course I’ve always been scared of the dentists but made myself go as I was worried about the effects of my meds on my teeth. What I wasn’t expecting was to be told that they would not give me another appointment. I’ve been without a dentist now for over 5 years & my mouth has suffered as a result. I was half way through going from my wreck to partial dentures, the bottom ones have never fitted – & I know for definite that I now need two full sets of dentures & am at a loss of how to get a dentist again – I am desperate,but cannot afford to pay privately as I’m on benefits, sadly. I don’t really go out or see people any more as I’m so embarrased having to wear masks during Covid was a bit of relief because I could hide my mouth from people. We desperately need a dental hospital here based across a couple of sites so they’re as accessible as possible for our people.
