Can confirm the UK is in the middle of a dental crisis.
My own experience was waiting on a list at the practice the rest of my family goes to for 5 yrs before they admitted they are short on dentists and haven’t been able to fill spots.
I then had to spend an afternoon phoning around 40 of the local dentists looking for someone that could put me on there books.
On the up side I am getting the tidy up work I have needed since just before lockdown on the teeth I smashed as a drunk teen at last
Because over the last 14 years, the Tories have annihilated NHS dentistry.
Growing up, I’d see a dentist every 6 months or so for a checkup. About ten years ago they swapped most people to appointments every year. Then about 3 years ago they sent me a text telling me that my dentist had left, and they’d tell me when they had another. Given they haven’t contacted me since, I’m assuming that was a typo, and what they actually meant to type was “fuck you”.
Oi, this is slander, we might be one of the most awful places in the country, responsible for giving the world Doncaster, Grimsby and Scunthrope, but were not Norfolk.
