With dental surgery service disruption, is anyone else being careful what they eat? Im trying to just est soft food to avoid breaking a tooth.

I was bloody lucky to get a tooth fixed late last year with reports of people struggling to get help, my surgery would only offer advice on the phone snd nothing else.

Luckily i wad still able to get to another dentist i used to go to a few miles awsy

Our dentist is open and we had routine checkups (NHS) in March. They emailed us today with their "come and see us, it's super safe" email, so they're keen for patients to go. It was all very civilised in March anyway.

I hope you get your dental issues seen to, OP

Earlier in the pandemic this was a problem I agree, I think most dentists are now operating more of a regular service again.

It may take longer to see your dentist, but for real emergencies if you are in pain they should be able to fit you in quite quickly.

I had a very large filling break causing me real toothache a couple of months ago. And I was seen in 2 days of it happening.

I have booked another appointment now as I chipped a different tooth, this one doesn't hurt in itself, just is sharp and catches my cheek when I eat. They booked me in 2 weeks after I phoned them to get this problem fixed. If I had severe toothache I am sure I would have been seen sooner.

Surely you should always watch what you eat, not just when it’s tricky to see a dentist?

You don’t crash your car because the dealership is closed…

The media loves to report bad news, or create it if there isn't any.

Sounds a bit gloomy to just eat soft food in case of a breakage.

Our dentist is business as usual, I booked an appointment as I was worried about a tooth and had the appointment 6 days later.

If the dentist in question has been shut for a year, then wouldn't the backlog be a year, or am I missing something?

My friend is a dental nurse.

She said they are doing routine appointments but many in area are not and priority access to appointments is being given to non NHS patients.

They had someone call them who were told by their dentist there were no appointments for 8 months!

I think it depends on the area and your practice.

they cant just get people in like normal, each room still being left empty for 30 mins after each appt if any of the tools that would cause vapours to be in the air were used so thats slowing them down getting people in even when open

Mine is still closed and not a accepting anyone in, phoned them last year with an emergency for a broken tooth, still waiting 9 months later for them to see me, I went else where in the end, but had to go private, and cost me!

If you have emergency problems they will have quicker emergency appointments, even if regular appointments have a long delay. The NHS dentist contract means that they have to provide minimum standards of care, including out of hours support.

It's an aspect of the overall lack of funding into the NHS that we've seen in hospitals and other parts of the NHS, with this crisis.

No I was 6 months with a temporary filling that fell out and got to wait till 10th of June as can't get in sooner around work.

Guess if you can go at any time it would be quicker.

Remember to rinse with water after eating and floss regularly .... biggest cause of gum disease and tooth problems

Eating soft food only sounds extreme i know, but currently I'm trying to avoid tempting fate
