I’VE recently needed urgent dental care so I rang the usual out of hours number and spoke to the dental team who told me that Bath Street has nothing (as they are not an emergency clinic) until the weekend.
They told me the nearest place was St Helens but that’s no good for me as I don’t drive.
I then called 13 local dental surgeries and not one would see me even after I explained my situation and being in agony.
I find it hard to believe that not one would help me considering I pay for my treatment.
You would think they would be willing to see you.
I dread to think if this was a child what would be done then.
I’m currently still in pain and waiting for the weekend to start in order to be seen.
