Entitled to Free NHS Dental Care but dentist has gone private
No NHS dentists in the whole of our county are taking on new patients. Our Dentist who the whole family have been with for years is going private this month. A family member is exempt from charges so where does this leave them as the care will be non NHS? Our MP was unaware of this and cannot answer our question. Just a…

I'm looking for the best place to reglaze my glasses now that my prescription has changed. I don't necessarily want the cheapest option, I would like to find the best price for good…

Denplan, Cashback scheme or PAYG dental care post-NHS
I have been with the same NHS dental practice for over 40 years. They are going private-only, and there are no NHS options anywhere in the county I live (Cambridgeshire) except a few if you have a referral (?) I have had no issues in the last 10 years with my teeth and only ever had check ups and nothing else but of course…

Root canal - v- extraction
I had a low grade infection in my upper right second from the rear molar. Had antibiotics and my (NHS) dentist did a root canal. He could only reach one of the canals but said that was the infected one. He said if it doesn't work I'll have to either be referred to a private endontist at an estimated cost of £800 for them…

Private flu jab not at a pharmacy?
Hi all I'm after some advice. I am looking to get the flu jab. I don't qualify for it on NHS which is fine but it means I apparently can't get it done at the GP. They told me to go to a pharmacy. I struggle with injections as it is and to top it off I have anxiety. I feel really uncomfortable getting stuff like this done…

NHS adult ortho advice
Hi, I seek advice regarding being referred to the hospital for NHS adult orthodontist treatment. I was referred to an orthodontist when I was 17 and offered jaw surgery to correct an overbite.

NHS or private for specific dental treatment
I have a molar that's been filled extensively - the last time was 18 months ago and the edges are already chipping away. My NHS dentist has proposed that the tooth should be crowned over the existing amalgam filling - no root canal treatment as there is no pain. Would a composite restoration underneath the crown be covered…

Buying your own denture
Been well past retirement I've become entitled to free dental care. However, during the height of the pandemic my normal practise seemed to have been taken over and at the moment they are a few dentists down and they are saying to me until they get a replacement dentist for my old dentist there is nothing they can do. Well…

How to cool your bed down?
Hey! This seems like a bit of an odd place to ask this, so sorry if this
isn’t the most suitable! I’m after some tips to help cool an overly hot mattress? We bought
a new one earlier this year, but it’s like sleeping on a hot plate. I really
