    Have you ANY idea how much missed appointments cost the NHS?!

    Perhaps you should use the calendar and alarm functions on your iphone ;)

    Especially when most of us have to pay!

    Oh yes ive got my crystal ball here, let me fire it up. Why not just ask your dentist when you call ?

    Hmmmm...Let me see maybe because there not open Saturday, Sunday or Monday and I was just wondering if anyone had experienced the same thing. And you know where to take your crystal ball!!

    Wow now I'm scared. I'm in glasgow and was to get a filling and my teeth cleaned. I've been with the same dentist for my whole 21 years of life and have never so much as been late. The whole world is all about grabbing money everywhere they can aren't they. It makes me sick.

    I hope that the fact you've been going for a long time works in your favour. If you've never missed before hopefully they won't charge if you explain

    I can bear pain myself, he said softly, but I couldna bear yours. That would take more strength than I have -

    I've always paid for my dental treatments and hate being unemployed. Due to being very ill last year and not being able to work it's not something that can be helped.

    Obviously not lol. I'm one of the people without iphones and normally have a good memory. Was just an accidental mix up.

    Well it is quite right you pay for that confusion of yours in the OP, as you have deprived someone else of a treatment time.

    Incidentally, this thread is in wrong place, if a mod could move it to somewhere more suitable, as this is employment issues thread...

    Except up to the age of 18 when they were free. So you've paid for maybe 2 or 3 appointments in the last couple of years. Not exactly thousands.

    Really? 2weeks ago you were complaining that an iphone app didn't work for you................. :whistle:
    No,the app didn't work for me so I gave up and just been using the laptop. I think it just depends on what time of the day. Keep at it, you might get lucky yet
