I've done it, I've made an appointment at the Dentist for 2.45pm tomorrow. The cost shocked me. I think I'm still going to have to 'get my head around' going to the hospital at the city. I don't have many back teeth left and I'm about to lose another one, I think I'm going to need a denture plate {if that's the right title}. I can't even imagine what one of those will cost. I tried to understand the pages that Mazy sent me, but as far as I can tell, even having a pension card I may not be eligable. I couldn't call this an emergency, I've been putting up with it for a year or more, and I don't suppose a 'plate' is either. Is that really the only way you can acess a government dentist . . . if it's an emergency? I would go in and make a normal appointment and wait, a year, whatever, but it's so complicated.

Hi @Former-Member, I'm really glad you have the private appointment now. It seems to me the next step with the government dentist would be to go there and make an appointment of some kind, either emergency (least waiting time) or non-emergency (can take a year or more). I'm not sure what happens about plates either but you could ask them while you are there.
How's your day been aside from this? I've had another blanked out day not getting out of sleepwear. It's okay though. I have things on tomorrow that will get me up early and into the world again. It's the last time I see my support worker tomorrow, a special day.

Helo Mazy @Mazarita🙂
It feels like the appointment isn't real. I'm not really glad about it, there's just something in my head that knows this tooth has to come out now. The tooth doesn't hurt, but the area thet hurts around it is getting bigger. Next time I go to the city I'll try to make an appointment, I don't mind waiting.
Hasn t really been a good day. sorry yours is been blank. I imagine you'll feel sad about your support worker, try to feel happy about you being able to make this decision 🙂
Bl**dy fingers, bl**dy keys - this post took a bit of fixing.
Lots of love and hugs to you Mazy

I feel so pathetic, I can feel all the physical stuff kicking in. Tears behind my eyes, whole body tensing up, breath taken away. I want to go back to it not being real, back to watching the movie with the stupid woman, childish, selfish, stupid woman. I don't want it to be me. I want to blur, otherwise I can't do it, I want to blur. I have to go soon, it take an hour to get there. I have a disgusting mouth and I'm going to dentist, they always give me looks, they don't have to say they're disgusted, there looks say it. The smell and the goo says it. I want it out.
