We both got texts saying that our dental appts were cancelled this week and to ring for another. Tried all through the day for a couple of days before finaly reaching an answer machine (they used to answer straight away). Call back from them and made an appointment for next week on the dentists final day there.
Both our dentists leaving next week. ...
Then another text yesterday cancelling next weeks and to ring again...... both of us tried all day yesterday, me from mobile (when not in the 91 minutes queue to doctors , which then annoyingly cut off when I finally got down to no.4 in the queue!) and hubby from works phone. He got the answer machine after 4pm.....now supposedly got new appointments in April which are being done by "stand-in cover from head office". I'm expecting another cancellation text...
Sounds about right. I’ve had 2 or 3 dental appointments cancelled in a row… the least they could do is call to rearrange it.
Alas, NHS dentistry is a mess. You could need fillings in every tooth at once and they’d only get paid for one.
