I'm 21 years old and still on a waiting list! I have to keep calling NHS dental helpline every couple of weeks trying to get my two year old boy regestered with a dentist. The reason I'm looking so early is because I know that it will be years at this rate before there is a slot for new patients in my area. P.s I was so stressed at the idea of becoming a single mum but your website has showed me that I can do this! Thank you :) I couldn’t agree with you more.

OK, I'm foreign, so maybe that's why. My big issue is that the school requires that we make dental appointments outside of term time. My work expects me to 'make up the hours' if I take time off for an appointment. My dentist expects me to book weeks in advance and only has times available that require me to take two and a half hours off work (by the time I commute back and pick up the boy) and take the boy out of class. I don't have two and a half hours to spare to make up the time. The school seems to give 4 weeks notice of a training day but the dentist needs booking about 6 weeks in advance. Poo. I think my dentist has children and therefore isn't available school holidays. Maybe she's also a single Mum. The cycle perpetuates...
