She's given hi a course of anti biotics as a precaution saying the tooth should settle but so far it's getting worse. She…

Is a treatment plan legally binding?
Hi there, This may be a stupid question but I want to make sure I'm good. I went for a consultation with a dentist, as I'm looking to get a single implant to replace a missing tooth (it sadly had to be extracted a month ago).

NHS appointment line?
How is this meant to work? My wife got a letter asking her to ring the line, the letter giving a choice of three hospitals. She was offered the "earliest" appointment which is at a hospital 25 miles away as opposed to our local hospital about two miles away (where she has previously seen a relevant specialist). My wife…

Electric Shaver recommendations
