Beauty Pie - worthwhile?

root canal and fillings
Used my dentist for a couple of years and have been happy. However, since Covid the delays in getting seen are becoming longer and longer. I've been told I have a tooth with dying roots that needs root canal surgery and some fillings. However, they cannot give me a date for treatment for another 5 months due to long…

Glasses direct
Just a 'heads up' for anyone thinking of using Glasses Direct. Bought a pair of glasses 7 weeks ago, paid for them, since then...nothing no glasses, no answer on the phone, no reply to emails, nothing. I would advise you to avoid. On one review site they score 4.5 but on another review site they score 2.3 which leads me to…

Severely nocturnal, waste of heating and energy
I have delayed sleep phase disorder, and have been struggling with being almost fully nocturnal since I was 15. We estimate that this is costing us at least an extra 33% in energy bills a year, from having to have the lights and heating on. Has anyone else been able to fix this? I have blue light blocking glasses, and wear…

Filling Dropped Out Again - What Are My Options?
Several months ago I had a filling at the back of my front tooth fall out, I rang the dentist at the time and they couldn't fit me in and, as I wasn't in pain, I waited until my check up appointment a couple of weeks ago where the dentist refilled it (with one of those light things).Unfortunately part of the filling has…

Bad dentist?
In July I went for a dentist check up. She saw my root canal tooth from 4 years ago took some x rays and recommended a crown to ‘strengthen the tooth’. She took an X-ray of the tooth and it was ok- root canal seemed to be holding. It’s taken me ages to finally get the crown but 2 days ago I finally got the crown fitted. I…

Round in circles with dental treatment
I have an impacted wisdom tooth that has me on antibiotics for a month. Finished yesterday. My dentist wouldn't agree it was that tooth until it broke through. They told me I am beyond standard dentistry and that I needed a surgeon, but they "don't do referrals" unless NHS ones. I fought my corner explaining my bupa would…
