Not sure if anybody has any advice
My mums been housebound since lockdown, she had a fall just before it all came out so couldn't get out and about as hoped due to being vulnerable
We are still awaiting news of if we can get a grant to help getting a ramp so I can take her out, her external doors are narrower than standard so I can't get her out the house in a chair, pre the fall she could just manage the steps with her walker

She's been wanting to go the dentist for a while and it will be priority once we get the ramp however yesterday she broke a tooth, she has already had the nerve removed from it years ago but i obviously want her seen

Any advice what I can do? Her local dentist is useless and couldn't offer help or advice previously and pretty much said we will see you when she has the ramp

Yep definitely. Try domiciliary dentists if home dentists doesn’t get you any results

Thanks so much, I've found a number I'll try once I get to work
She will be over the moon if I can sort something. I shouldn't have just accepted the local dentists word that we can't do anything
It's a front tooth she's broken so she will be conscious of it

Thank you again 😊
