Right cant get NHS for trying around my area
so im private
But i thought id give it another go as im now exempt being preggers
Not a hope in HELL (more chance of John Barrowman falling in love with me and marrying me ) ahhhh now thats a nice dream sorry went of topic
Anyway all practices saying nope full no room at the the inn for poor old me i have to admit i didnt try them all i gave up after the fifth one turned me away
cue poor sarah violins
I went to my private dentist a month ago with pain and bleeding in my gums (of course preggers related as this can occure )
she checked my teeth said there in good shape but being preggers reccomended the hygenist to help stop the bleeding I mentioned the crown tooth hurt more then the other's but she didnt seem all that bothered by it and sent me on my way
so i have 2 courses of hygiene clean cost a fortune wow my mouth bled like id chomped down on someones neck and had a vampire feast
Anyway it worked my gums stopped bleeding and hurting all but one the one tooth i have a crown on continued to hurt and bleed it's got very bad this week
I've already been using corydosol for age and i started to floss as well but it didnt help
I found due to soft gums my floss actually got under the crowns tooth and got stuck which i thought hang on that shouldnt happen
So i thought i'm now on maternity if its bad it will cost me fortune at the private dentist to get it fixed and i no longer have the income to pay for it
So i thought try the emergency NHS dentist so i got an appointment tonight a huge palava that was but i'll skip that bit apart from to say
Receptionsits across the land our such moody rude cows arnt they
Saw the much more cheerful dentist and he was horrified that all the practices i'd rung turned me away. He said as i'm exempt pregnant and infections in gums while preggers can cause problems they SHOULD NOT HAVE turned me away they should have taken me on as an emergency and then put me on the list to wait to register with them even if i can be a patient straight away
Doctors do this im know i did it when i went up home at xmas i saw them straight away as a tempory resident
He did some work on my crown tooth ouch it bloody hurt!!!! but im going to go through a hell of a lot more in labour And now me and my teeth our much happier it still hurts and it's still bleeding but happier
No infection and he said crown is ok but i need to get seen by a dental practice (emergency dentists only do tempory work)
He gave me a central number to ring and said "do not to let them fobb you of demand a dentist as your pregnant and expempt they have to give you one"
So that's what i'll be doing Monday DEMANDING MY RIGHTS
No more miss "oh ok ill try another dentist if your full" meek little me
I will polite but firm i'm going to get NHS dentist!!! be
