Dentist

The hospital rang me this morning to say they have a cancellation for Wednesday to have my wisdom tooth took out which is causing pain. They say I need a few days off work afterwards.

I understand you get sick pay for dental work but do you get it at short notice?

    sick pay from whom? You mean ssp? that's only paid after the 3rd day so probably not.

    I had 4 out at dentist in one go and had 4 days off as was very ill afterwards but could not afford to have any more time off

    The day of the appointment doesn't count either, either needs to be time of unpaid or holiday pay as agreed with the employer.
