You remember I had a dentist?

No longer - they won’t treat me at my current weight. The chairs they have aren’t good enough.

I’m being referred to the “community” dental team, a process which might take a year. Or more.

Seriously, I could bite, I’m so annoyed.

Then...

More on dental care: checking out the website for my local health board, anyone over 25st (yes, that would be me, no you may not comment on my weight) should be referred to the community dentists. Why they didn't just say that, I don't know. So the question is how long the community dentists will take to offer me an appointment.

Why a fat person's teeth should be different to anyone else's, I leave as a question to be considered.

Project: Dentist III went off well and I arrived on time and saw him. He ran late, but that's the nature of medical people.

Project: Dentist IV takes place on August 4th, where we have the hygienist and also two fillings, one rather large.

This dentist thing is not a cheap hobby. He said that NHS fillings last between four and six years. I didn't tell him that some of my NHS fillings have lasted 20+ years and are still going strong.
