I have been going round and round and round and round and round the houses for years and years and years and years and years. I have been suffering for 40 years only able to eat soft foods or sometimes liquid. It got worse 5 years ago and I have been left on a liquid diet. After botched unnecessary dentistry on teeth that should have been extracted 30 years ago, to cut a long story short, I have been left without any dentistry at all - no fillings, no cleanings, and unable to eat with tender teeth. There was always an excuse - dentists sent to endodontist and endodontist sent to dentist. Dentist sent to maxfax and maxfax said see a dentist. Dentist said see GP and GP said see a dentist. Over and over and over and over and over again for years and years and years and years and years. More recently dentists just refer to another dentist I have already been to and have had their own excuses to get rid. No-one cares that I can't bite or chew anything with worn out unrestorable tender teeth.
I am very persistent and have been to dozens of dentists (mostly private) as well as emailing them all locally and phoning round them all multiple times. I have tried lots of oral surgeons both private and nhs and they are also not interested, hostile and won't bother in the slightest, bar one who extracted 4 tender teeth which helped, but was extremely hostile on the follow up and was secretly discharged unable to eat and left to deteriorate.
I have emailed many other organisations, my old MP, my new MP. I am exhausted. I could go on. Is anyone paying attention? Does anyone anywhere care? Am I wasting more of my time on top of all the time I have wasted getting nowhere in 5 long agonising years. My worn out unrestorable teeth are destroying my health. It would be cheaper for the nhs to cure me, preferably 5 years ago instead of lots of excuses and leaving me on prescription meal replacement drinks and prescription strong painkillers at the tax-payers' expense. The prognosis is that nothing will happen til I get sepsis and am an emergency.
I could go on and on but I have wasted thousands of hours on this so far and no-one will engage in healthcare at all so I am wasting my time.
