After years of talking about dental care and here I am; having just got back from a trip to the dentist. I had a check up yesterday and, because of how close my lower left and right 1 and 2 are I had to go to the hygienist to have a little bit of stuff cleaned off my lower teeth. I had to have some anaesthetic, such was the vigorousness of the treatment, and my face is now recovering very slowly. I can’t eat or drink just yet since I would probably end up spilling it down myself in the most embarrassing way.
The cost of treatment, too, can be prohibitive to many people. When it comes to health, though, people tend to be a little bit more loose on their purse strings. Dentists, though, given that they’re typically not on the NGS register, tend to see their patients much less frequently. A word of advice? Even if you think you’re doing well it would be worth a check up.
