Dentist with a cold..

[JKCR2017]

Myself & DD have a dentist check up tomorrow. DD woke up yesterday with a nasty cold. I am fine.

Is she okay to go with a cold?

We are lucky enough to be in an NHS surgery but if you give less than 24 hrs notice you get a warning letter. This happens last year when I woke up with a tummy bug, had to cancel for obvious readons at short notice and I got a shitty letter. I rang them and asked if they’d rather if me attended while puking my guts up and having diarrhoea and pass it on to their patients and staff. 😂

so scared if I cancel again I will get took off their list.

Typical, we are rarely ill but it seems to catch us before the dentist 🙈 probably my fault for booking an app within a week of DD starting pre-school. She was bound to pick something up 🙈 and a damn Monday app where I can’t cancel in time.

I’m thinking, we should go to the dentist and if they refuse to see DD we still made the effort oand go and won’t get in trouble??

It’s a cec u. She’s fine to go with a cold.

That is meant to say it’s a check up.

Just take DD anyway and give them the option of seeing her when you arrive.

A checkup should be fine - in my surgery they wear masks anyway. I went for a filling at the tail end of a cold last year (really choked up but not at the miserable stage) and the dentist actually suggested I come back the week after because the tooth was really close to my sinus.

Actually, now I think of it, I had an 8.30am appointment for a checkup and woke up with a rotten cold a couple of years back. I left a voicemail just after 7am, offered to pay a cancellation fee, and asked them to ring back so I could pay with my debit card. The receptionist rang to reschedule, and said the fee wasn’t necessary (I sounded like I was actually dead - had even called in sick to work - which possibly helped my case!)
