I started to have a tooth problem last Thursday - odd metallic taste when cleaning teeth then gritty bits in mouth.
No pain so thought nothing of it.
But on Saturday I bit down when eating and d@mn near took off with the pain

Managed over the weekend and phoned Dentist this morning. Very impressed with the service considering the situation.

I was rung back by my Dentist in minutes and she assessed what was happening on the phone having brought up my notes and last set of X-rays.

She Triaged me, Rx’s antibiotics and explained that they have set up “hubs” where one practice in an area is fully kitted out with PPE etc and all other surrounding practices are closed but patients can ring in for advice and in an emergency be triaged by a dentist for possible referral onto “the hub”.

It is likely that the tooth will come out on Thursday but they want me to have the antibiotics in my system and working when they do it.

So hats of to them - in difficult times - we still have pretty good service.
