    Q: Tell us about your experience, good and bad, with your dentist.
    A: I have an excellent dentist but I do pay privately as at the time there were no NHS dentists available. Unsure if there are any now. I have stayed with my private dentist as I believe the treatment I get is much better than the NHS dentist I had before.

    A: Was registered with NHS however they had no time to do any of the required work and were pushing for me to go private. In the end i had to go private at great cost

    Q: Tell us about your experience, good and bad, with your dentist.
    A: Where I live – Colwyn Bay – I tried for months to find a dentist.None of them, none of them were accepting NHS patients immediately. For eve one there’s an 18month-2 year waiting list! I had teeth falling apart that needed filling, nerves open to infection, so I had no choice but to pay several £100s to get it fixed.

    Q: Tell us about your experience, good and bad, with your dentist.
    A: All my appointments post covid have been cancelled, I could not access the year free dental during my maternity leave. I’ve tried registering my youngest child to be told there is a 2 year wait and that was over 2 years ago. My eldest who is only 5 has had all her appointments cancelled and hasn’t seen a dentist since pre covid. It’s disgusting that a 1st world country is like this. I feel like government are selling parts off to private to make money for themselves and their friends.
