My mother, tried for an opportunity to get a doctors appointment and was finally sent to a practice far away, when she got there it was full of foreigners who didn't speak a word of English in the waiting room. That's her rewards for working all her life and paying into the system with the taxes they took off her. And if she complains about it she's a bigot.

If you ask me "a bigot" is a noble position to be these days.

I don't have a dentist. I haven't been to the dentist since I was a kid over 30 years ago. By the time I get an appointment I think I will have got the tooth out myself. Its hanging by a thread right now. A bit more work and it will pop out.

They're not taking people on unless they've got big money to spend. I don't have money to spend. Lots of UK people have been going to Turkey to see a dentist. It's all changed since Covid.

My dentist wanted me to wait 28 days to have a tooth out

Luckily a friends wife is a dentist and she managed to fill it for me after hours.

Not being funny but if you get into a regular routine and go to the dentist every six months you wont have these issues!

My dentist is NHS and is still taking on new patients

I have better things to spend my money on than dentists. They cost a fortune I'd rather have the bit of pain until I remove it myself than chuck over £100 away to them who will do a minutes work.

If I was an illegal immigrant I'd probably get it done for free.
