For the past two years, i have had a horrible,brutal dentist,always rude,rips my lipsand inner mouth and i always end up in complete pain during and after treatment.
The other day i had severe toothache, i made an emergency appointment, i have tried to change my dentist previously to no avail as all dentists are now private and you have to be lucky to keep the NHS one.
The dentist attended to me, again rudely, told me without looking at my tooth that i would have to lose my tooth, i asked him to please examine me, he got rude and told me he was taking it out, i insisted that he examine me before hand, he refused and told me if i did not have it taken out that he would dismiss me from his clinic, i refused, he dismissed me and told me to get out!.
I spent two days with toothache and so many painkillers that i managed to find a kind dentist for emergencies, he examined me, x-rayed my tooth and told me it was a broken filling that he could fix which he did and also gave me antibiotics for any infection i might have sustained.
He was pleasant, respectful and careful with my treatment and has accepted me as a NHS patient.
Just remember, some professionals are not always right, when it comes to your body - fight for it.
Just got me thinking, do we put up with rudeness and treated like shite and then we pay money for it?
