Can a permanent dental bridge be removed?

Creams and lotions in pump bottles - a rant and an appeal
I know why companies put creams and lotions into hard plastic bottles with pump dispensers: people like them. I do too.

Supermarket shopping - proof you're a vulnerable person?
My partner has bad asthma; so bad in fact, she couldn't get enough breath to complete a spirometry test a couple of weeks ago.

Free dental treatment question
I remember many years ago my husband got free dental treatment as he was unemployed for a short time. He booked a series of appointments to have the work done but got a job before the work was completed. The dentist said he didn't have to pay as he was unemployed when he booked the work. Does this rule still stand or do…
