I think it's absurd that you can't see a dentist. How come they aren't allowed to use drills etc with full PPE.
I'm asking because I've asked my dentist time and again why they are not able to help me and I'm getting no explanation of any kind.
If they could explain to me why I wouldn't be so cross.
I've had a painful abcess since February and have had repeated antibiotics which haven't worked and now have osteomyelitis in my jaw bone.
I've had this before due to a root canal that went wrong and repeated infection and ended up on IV antibiotics had teeth removed and then had to pay for sinus implants and implants which I had to take a loan out for.
Now I've got osteomyelitis again which is very serious and all I'm getting is antibiotics, I may have to go into hospital again and will no doubt have to cough up for more implants, if this abcess had been treated back in February we wouldn't have got to this stage.
I taker very good care of my teeth and I don't have gum disease as I go to the dentist every three months for hygiene etc.
I think it's disgusting this has been allowed to happen and the lack of basic treatment has meant repeat thousands of pounds worth of work to replace teeth that isn't available on the NHS.
I'm 58 and so my old filling are coming apart and if I have to wait many months for replacement fillings this is what happens, when I break a tooth I always go in right away to have it sorted.
I think it's pretty poor it's come to osteomyelitis and still my dentists isn't open for business.
Why don't they have the right PPE? Dentistry is important it's not a luxury treatment.
