Options for molar filling...
I've been to my dentist today for a checkup and we discussed the fate of at least one of my fillings, an upper molar which has a white (private) filling. There have been a few twinges and apparently it looks like it is beginning to fail, which given that it is approx. 15 years old is reasonable. I have some amalgam…

Best way to get private healthcare cover?
Just looking into getting private health cover as my NHS GP has been a joke recently. I mean they always were a joke because it took a month just to get an appointment, but since covid all they do is suggest you to either go private or go to A&E because they don't want to put themselves at any risk whatsoever by seeing you…

Private dental treatment from NHS Dentist -advice please
Went to the dentist today as a piece of tooth fell off one of my molars. I am 54 and most of my back teeth have fillings due to a sweet tooth over the years. The dentist advised he could do a crown on the NHS so I am really pleased about that as thought he would just have to remove it. My two front teeth and one next to it…

Dental and TMJ problems

None of them touch when I close my mouth, except for the edge of two back teeth on the right side. I went back to my dentist and he said it was probably a TMJ problem but couldn’t…

Wrist support
I am looking for a reasonably priced wrist support that does not actually cut off the blood supply to the hand/fingers, all the ones that I have tried so far do just that. Personal experience on your part could save me buying and trying every support on the market looking for one that works.

Any opticians around to explain?
I used to have an optician's appointment every 2 years. Then it changed to one year, so I went recently for a check up. The optician has worried me a bit by saying I will need to be seen in 6 month's time and also wrote a letter for a referral to the eye hospital. In it he referred to IOP last year and this year of 12mmHg…
