“The crisis in NHS dentistry is so bad that a charity set up to run clinics in poorer countries is now spending more time working in the UK.”

    NHS dentistry is still too fuckin expensive, especially for kids with shit teeth because of malnutrition that’s going out the whazzoo on this shitass island…

    I wasn’t able to see a dentist during COVID when one of my teeth split in half to the root. I would stuff the gap with a temporary filling every month or so for 2 years until i woke up with an abscess and had it extracted. Two extractions later and I dont have much of a choice for implants or bridges since I’m way beyond saving now. It’s just shit.
