This is still valid… please contact us if in real trouble.
For more than 30 years, I have been working as a dentist in and around Ware in Hertfordshire. During that time, dentistry has been pretty good to me, enabling me to live a comfortable lifestyle with my wonderful family, plus build a successful small business that hopefully will continue to employ local people for many years to come.
Over the last couple of years, our practice has been contacted by more and more people who are suffering from ( sometimes extreme) dental pain but are unable to find a NHS dentist. Many of these cannot afford private treatment that is not subsidised by the Government. Also in the press and on TV there are reports of people having to resort to try treating themselves as they are so much pain.
This is no way for a civilised country to treat people, thus whilst I’m personally not allowed to do any NHS dentistry (the rules changing many years ago mean I’m excluded from this), what I would like to do is at least try to help people in real trouble.
Thus I would like to offer anyone with dental pain, a completely free of charge appointment just to try and get something basic done to tide them over until they can find a NHS dentist.
This could include x-rays, dressings, temporary fillings or simple extractions… I cant promise an immediate solution to any or all dental problems but can promise I will try my very best to improve the situation, even if only temporarily.
Obviously, I run a very busy practice and appointments will have to be limited, but I will aim to see anyone in real trouble.
I would further add that although I’m happy to take a look, the vast majority of my career has been treating complex adult issues, so treating children is really not my area of expertise.
If you are in genuine need of urgent dental care, please contact us at the practice and we’ll see what we can do.
