Yes, there was a period when they were closed. An emergency would have been problematic then!
I'm in Somerset and am an NHS patient, so at least my appointments are cheap! He is a pretty good dentist too, I have to say.

I can remember my Grandad telling us he could tie our wobbly teeth to a door handle and slam the door to get them out if we didn't want to go to the dentist Always made sure i went regularly from then but a year or so back dropped off my Dentists list after missing one appointment and have not yet been able to find a new one since.
I dug out my neighbor's tooth with a pick axe and rubber mallet for $25 and a six pack of Heineken. And yes, we wore masks.
My area they were closed for everything but emergencies. When they finally opened the restrictions were so tough it was like one person in the waiting room at a time it took months to get an appointment. Seems to be normalizing a little better now, seems like it’s only a month but if you want a day appointment I think it’s a little easier. I got this really weird procedure I might try. But I’ll need to hunt down an oral surgeon. I’m trying everything I can not to get a tooth pulled but it’s looking rather hopeless. The procedure sounds really weird. Weird usually means very expensive so I’m hoping it can wait till next year when my insurance resets. Besides that they do add an additional 10 bucks to your bill for all the ppe gear they are going through. Seriously they are decked out like surgeons. Luckily even during the lockdown they were treating emergencies I didn’t have to go but tooth pain can be a real bitch
Went through same with crushing up a cracked wisdom to get it out. Luckily it was lower as I've heard the upper are a real pain in the ass with dry socket etc etc.
The scaling I have no idea why they go so hard with it . My dentist went in like she was high pressure washing and carving her initials into stone instead of a 'lite and easy cleaning'.
Biggest regret was having a lower molar yanked two years ago. Schedule was major tight, money real tight and thing was on and off abscess. Got tired of the anti biotics and rather than spend a couple of grand on work and crown..I said feck it, yank the thing . Real dumb. For a minute there I thought my damn jaw was going to break ffs.
Jesus, and I thought you Americans laughed about our teeth!

I didn’t take it as an attack or insult. I thought it was funny. I obviously made a mistake. I see the difference between busting balls and insults. Busting balls can be funny. And even though we aren’t buddies n shitz it’s much better if people here don’t need to walk on eggshells around each other. But yes I will often find myself explain “this is ball busting not an attack” so I’m not in with the “beanz, dia, brock and Tito crew” but it’s not like I wish anyone ill. Ya I miss miles because I always found him funny and we would always bust each other’s balls but I guess miles needed a break. I mean when I came back damn I was surprised at the nasty shit people said to me. Dia was on the warpath, bff beaner said I’m not fit for my job (my boss and HR feel differently so does everyone I work with) but whatever it’s not like I hold it against everyone you just forget that. Telling a veteran he fought in a war he didn’t start and questioned wtf he was accomplishing everyday on veteran day when he had spent hours on the talking to the family members of friends who never made it home really hit me. I’m talking to their kids now who years ago I could say “your dad saved my life he is a hero.” Today they have more questions, they want me to tell them about every patrol or protection detail I did with their father. They love the funny parts like how we would find stupid shit to argue about to keep our minds off of IEDs as we drive through hotspots. I told one kid I still owed his father 20 bucks from a poker game and I asked if I could send him a check because that 20 dollars I couldn’t pay back as the next he was killed, killed trying to help a local. Mind you this is probably the tenth time I payed him that twenty bucks but put the kid but each twenty In a frame and he says he has it with a picture of me and his father decked out in full gear smoking a cigarette together.
But I already said any comment like that would normally not effect me, it was just the day.
