My lad is 7, he's needed to go the dentist 18 months ago with a little tooth pain, but with Covid we have properly struggled to get him booked in for anything more than a check. Finally about 6 months ago he went to the dentist again, seems the tooth now needs to come out along with another one, rear baby teeth so not the end of the world, but because he is immune compromised he needed a blood test before he goes, which we waited another 3 weeks for. We were then told 6 months for an appointment to have the teeth out, which I got on the phone had a moan, an shock horror they knew nothing about his immune issue, after explaining they said they would get a sooner date. Phone call 4 weeks ago appointment for 24th which is today. We had a call last week for a pre check, which again I had to explain there would be no need as we had a recent blood test, which finally they agreed. Got him all ready this week, finally he was happy to go and looking forward to getting rid of the pain. Can you believe they called yesterday to cancel as they have no staff at Birmingham dental hospital and it will have to be on a later day.
I understand this happens with adults all the time and we kinda accept it. But to do it to a child, when you have primed them for it, an waited for so long is properly out of order, guess we have gotta start getting used to the crap!
