All come down with colds but dentist closed until appointment time!

Argh!! As the title says... Got 4 appointments booked for tomorrow morning, for me, DH and the two DC. I came out with a cold on Saturday afternoon, followed by the rest of the family throughout the last 36 hours. The first appointment is 8am - which is the time the dentist opens! I have checked and they're definitely not open today. I have been testing and currently negative for covid, but we are all coughing and I don't really like the idea of spreading cold germs around anyway. We're going to have to call and cancel aren't we, with effectively no notice. Are we likely to have to pay? It's an NHS appointment. I really can't afford £50+ for nothing. I'm so annoyed!

Email them now so they have a record of you cancelling, then phone first thing tomorrow morning to reschedule.

Hopefully they'll let you off!

Email and ring to see if there is an answerphone facility and leave a message.

Email or answerphone. They'll be cancelling you as you don't meet their infection control protocol

Email them asap or leave answerphone message. If they dont have anyone check these, thats not your fault.
