I have really struggled to find my daughter a dentist in our area, I haven’t found one for myself either and we moved here 4 years ago so I asked her dad to be responsible for her dental care as there was one near him taking on nhs kids. He has her EOW so 4 days a month. I arranged & booked her first appointment & paid the £25 surcharge for a Saturday appointment. I’ve reminded him about subsequent appointments, he has said he booked them, it turns out he hasn’t and she hasn’t been seen.
I messaged him about this to ask when he had booked her next check up for. He then got angry and said the reason he pays maintenance is to cover these kinds of costs and that I need to find a dentist near us.
Clearly I do because he hasn’t taken her, I’ve said I will sort it out, I’ve found one nearish to my brother’s so we can potentially do a dentist trip then stay with him. But was I being unreasonable to expect him to use limited time to do the dentist? And money when he does pay £300 maintenance?
