Looks like MPs have woken up t the crisis in #NHS #dental care... but for those advocating any reform of the NHS that involves expanding private provision, the state of dental services in the UK is a key example of what happens when you shift from universal provision to an under-funded mixed portfolio of provision....

The #NHScrisis will not be solved by adopting the dental care model, as must by now be pretty clear!

Three #dental crowns in one day turns out to be pretty traumatic. To the body, the mind, and the pocketbook.

Legal Q & A's In the Dental Business - Part Two - by Hewi Ma https://www.gdpuk.com/blogs/guest-contributors/entry/2421-part-2-legal-q-a-s-in-the-dental-business -- #dental #dentistry #news #healthcare #GDPUK

Forcing myself to catch up on #dental health. I have a lot of shame around my mouth. My orthodontist in high school wanted me to have surgery to correct my underbite which was repeatedly denied by ins. It's not noticeable to other people unless I bite all the way down or smile a certain way. And I have 70s kid teeth with giant silver fillings in my molars. One of those molars is now almost beyond salvation. Visiting the endodontist tomorrow for some kind of specialty root canal. :oh_no_bubble:

These dental floss picks are prolific. They are everywhere. If I didn’t know better, I’d swear they breed. I can go hiking in remote pristine wilderness and still find them lying on the ground. Do people walk around in public flossing their teeth with these pieces of plastic then flick them away like lint when they’re done?

Wondering if this is a social #norm, #dentist expectation or just something my family told me to do and it stuck. When you have a #dental appointment do you #brush and #floss just before you go?

So my dentist, who I have used for almost 5 years, has told me they no longer can accept my insurance (Delta Dental) and so I’m going to have to find a new provider. 🙁 #HealthInsurance #Dental

Looking for some advice from the #autistic and #neurodiverse community for my #ActuallyAutistic daughter on some #dental work she needs doing.

Here's the message she posted on a Facebook forum:

"Today the dentist told me that soon I'll either have to get a root canal, or have a tooth extracted (and have a bridge or plate put in). I've never had either of this before and am very worried about both of the options because they both sound like sensory hell and stress. 1/2

I should be drinking more water but instead I'm drinking coke before falling asleep.

Yeah that's not how #health works or even #dental

Don't take advice from me on those two subjects.

Getting three #fillings today. My first ever. I'm pretty scared - not had any proper #dental work done for five years and the idea of teeth drilling makes me incredibly uncomfortable. Wish me luck!

Not sure how this works so I'm going to throw out some hashtags of areas I'm interested in.
