So it would seem that no NHS practice in Stafford is currently accepting NHS patients despite what some of their sites say.

The only way to get any NHS dental work done is to waste 111’s time so they can refer you to a dental practice that is taking NHS urgent appointments.

This country’s dental system is whack.

That's, what I was worried about... No one seems to be accepting new NHS patients at the moment.


Bring back Miss Suleman at Church Lane...... My favourite dentist... Now retired I believe.

I suspect they’d do anything not to have to accept NHS patients as they’re not as profitable.

I’ve now got a number to ring tomorrow morning in hope that I can get this tooth sorted

Good luck getting sorted @Cue

I just can't see why we are finding it so hard getting dentist & GP appointments here in Stafford. Son in Worcester is choosing his appointment times to suit his shifts, and can always get a same day appointment if he phones at 8.30am

Seems the receptionists rules in Stafford.

My neighbour was NHS with Hillcrest , but last time she went during lockdown she was told they are now private and cost her a fortune.

We only have one or two NHS practices I think is the issue. And in fact it looks like right now nobody is accepting non-referral NHS patients so if you don’t already have a dentist you’re basically screwed

I headed off to the pub a bit later than usual - this, despite the total clarity of the sky, meant that it was a bit dark, but the sky looked like those pictures we get from the Mars rovers - apart from the trees.

I have, however, managed to find my way back after a very civilised evening.

Took a tumble last night, broken glasses, cut nose, and a deep gash on my cheek which will definitely leave a scar.

Thought the opening time on the number was 8am not 9am, whoops

Now I’m stuck waiting on hold, with it repeating the same message with a 1 second gap in between. All this just to get a damn dentist appointment. Even the guy in the recording is starting to sound tired

Sorry to hear that Trumpet, I hope your face feels better soon. When you feel a bit better, concoct a wild story you can tell about how you got your injuries to amuse yourself as the nth person asks you what you've done.

Looking at all the above, I think a lot of people will be glad when August is over. :|

My only complaint is this morning one of the several smoke detectors I've got scattered about the place started beeping. This normally indicates the battery needs replacing. All well and good for sure ..... BUT

WHY DO THEY ALWAYS START BEEPING AT THREE O CLOCK IN THE F****** MORNING ??? :grr::grr::grr:


(Rant over.) :P
