Smile Direct Club Ceases Trading
I don't recall anything on this Forum about Smile Club Direct - so I'm hoping most visitors here were too sensible to use them. The shop sites they occupied have all closed suddenly though, and those people under active treatment have basically been left high and dry. The FAQ page that has appeared on their website is…

Dentist conversation - reasonable?
Hi, First to say, I am not asking for or expecting medical advice here. What I'm seeking is views on whether the conversation I've had today with my dentist is normal/reasonable, as I really wasn't sure.

I have no idea if this is the right forum to put this in but any help I can get would be appreciated. My mother died earlier this year.

Earplugs

So we got ear plugs when our neighbours moved in because they were pretty inconsiderate people for a good while - example being karaoke at like 3-4am & since our house setup means our living rooms & bedrooms join,…

Cheap hearing aid
My mother's old hearing aid has packed up. To get a replacement we have to book an appointment with the audiology department. To be honest, she's not reliant on it and uses it occasionally so I thought it would be easier just to buy one off the internet. I looked at Boots but they were wanting to charge £600 for an ongoing…

Sun Damage moles/freckle style on face - What treatment works to remove them

More flat spots than moles really now. I would like to go have at least some removed but unsure what treatment would help me. Can anyone…
