    I had a similar experience at my NHS dentists a year or two ago. I rang the practice to find out when my next check-up was as I had a slight toothache and thought that my check-up was overdue.The practice told me it was still open for NHS treatment but it didn’t have any dentists at the moment and this was the reason no check-up reminders had been sent out.

    ‘Things can only get better’ should still be the Labour election song. It’s truer now than it was in 1997.
