I know where people can have their appointments remotely they are, I'm due there Thursday but having a telephone appointment instead. I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoetheRam Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Just popped in to say dental care really needs looking at urgently. Surely it's not beyond reach to open dentists up again? They have masks and sterilising facilities in normal times so why not now? The Mrs had some cowboy do a filling just before lockdown, this then turned into needing a root canal. She then went along to the root canal appointment to be told he's not doing them at the minute so he just removed the nerve. This then got infected because he didn't do it properly and has caused severe facial swelling resulting in 3 courses of antibiotics which are obviously not getting to the bottom of the problem as the moment the course completes the swelling starts up again. She ended up in A&E last night to be told by the doctor just to continue with the antibiotics and ring the dentist on Monday morning. The dentist will just say they're not open and to go to A&E and so the loop will start again. Had hoped these so called regional emergency hubs would be of some use, but the woman on 111 yesterday (weekend, so no answer at the dentist) didn't even know what they were. It clearly needs an extraction and an implant yet the dentists keep hiding behind lack of biosecurity at their practice to open up. Glad I got that out.

Was surprised to find today that my local Asda in West Bridgford has dispensed with the formality of making people queue around the corner of the store 2 metres apart but people were just allowed willy nilly through the doors as they rolled up.

Very disappointing. Weird, cos the get together I organised with a few friends at Woollaton Park was very respectful. Just a few buddies hanging out, keeping 2metres apart and shooting the breeze. Fine weather didn't bring out the numbers I expected, but quality over quantity I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the supermarkets prerogative then that's their decision ultimately but I don't agree with it. The store was still busy in my opinion at least they still continued with the other social distancing measures they usually had in place inside.
