"Urgent dental treatment"

About: Royal Bolton Hospital / General surgery

(as a volunteer/advocate),

My partner had an appointment at Bolton one anaesthetic clinic in April, it was cancelled.

He then got an appointment in May for urgent treatment to extract teeth, this also was cancelled, we have heard nothing since, and I believe he is still, if at all now on a waiting list again. Because of underlying health problems if my partner gets an infection it could be life-threatening. His teeth are that bad now he is unable to eat proper food and his dentist will not treat him.. 4 yrs on and off these cancellations have been going on. I think they need to start reading notes on patients files and prioritise instead of leaving people that need special anaesthetics to have their teeth taken out. It is urgent that he gets these teeth out, I'm worried that infections will kill him.
