Apparently not infection , shadow on xray is just a gap they think where roots should be( or something like that) and not anchored onto anything.??
Been like that for 27 years since I had an op , and no pain from that one ( except for her aggressive scraping and poking)
They say not allowed to get old records off previous dentists... Goodwin & Simpson said they couldn't forward on as well. Tepid they can't share history.
Glad I managed to find a NHS dentist here though! Sons girlfriend has toothache. Couldn't get into NHS one . Went to sons private one yesterday. £49 for initial consultation which found 2 cavities.....
£450 for each one to be done there.
She's going back to her dentist in Portugal where it'll be £50 each one.

The carer has joined a scheme at work where he can claim money back for medical expenses.......a god sent as I've had to use the private (amazing) dentist at church lane

Hubby used to be in a works private health scheme as well years ago( think work paid that but .its stopped now). He could claim.back so much each year for his NHS dentist as well. Not all of it , but it helped.
Luckily we found a NHS dentist which were taking on when we moved here. Or else Hubby would have been getting the pliers out of the tool box for his tooth extraction

Hundreds of dentists doing one NHS check-up a year
The British Dental Association has responded to new analysis commissioned by the Liberal Democrats, warning that the picture is far worse owing to the paucity of official data.
