Weekends

Why do you ALWAYS get toothache on the run up to a weekend and have to wait until the start of the next week before getting it seen to? Agony started last Thursday and went on until Monday. Thank gawd for $$$$><! (eh? system censored tram a doll - wassup with that?)

I was expecting delays anyway due to the Corona Con but managed to get a Monday appointment and ended up having an upper wisdom tooth fitted..... err, removed. They wouldn't even let me in to the surgery to wait - had to wait outside then have a head temperature measurement that didn't work coz my forehead was frozen solid.... and when I got in I saw a MASSIVE open space (that used to have seating) cleaned out for the obligatory '2m distancing' labels - and there wasn't ANYONE there!

Cost me over £100 too - gits.

I'm a miserable enough old sod to begin with (sez 'er) but a weekend with toothache???? EVERY TIME.

The last time I went to the dentist for anything other than a check up or a filling was about 20 years ago. I had a nasty toothache in a premolar.

I didn't have a permanent dentist at the time cos the two that I'd used since moving here had both left and then that practice had closed, the next one I signed up with got himself chucked out for fiddling the books and I hadn't got around to signing up with a new one.

So, I got an appointment with another one in the next town, he started rattling on about Root Canal work and then a Crown, he was also giving me costs as he went along and he'd got up to over £900.00. When I asked him how much to pull the bugger out - £25.

It was quite a brutal affair pulling it out, not much more than just a big pair of pliers and tug until it let go, it took about 15 minutes of pulling altogether.

Two days later my toothache was back - I went to see him again and he gave me some anti-biotics for the abscess, that cured it, but it didn't make my tooth re-grow, bloody charlatans the lot of them.

Mrs. D and I went to have our check-up last week, slightly delayed from February. We had to call when we were outside the surgery and they came to the door to let us in. We had to stand on a squidgy mat with a disinfectant on whilst the receptionist took our temperature and we used hand gel. Our coats and stuff had to be placed in a numbered bin and we were allowed to sit and wait in distanced chairs. We went in separately and the dentist was dressed like they were operating in Porton Down.

I was very fortunate as I had a bloody crown fall out on the Monday before our visit on Wednesday. The dentist glued it back in as well as the usual check-up and clean so I was pleased. As we are NHS customers it was only £45 for both of us, which I think is very good considering our dentist is just like being private.

Apart from the long wait to get an appointment I cannot complain.

Posted December 3rd..... LOL.

You would imagine people with a reasonable level of IQ (dentists) would be more reasoned when it comes to pushing the narrative - instead they are complicit in creating one of the biggest scams in public history.

Whenever we get customers in our shop they are informed that masks are 'their choice as we couldn't care less' and ALL of them, without exception, take them off a sigh 'thank God for that'.

I reckon we have a pretty good cross section of society through our doors and their reaction says a LOT about the way we are being manipulated.
