Dentist Triage
I ought to record here about my triage appointment with the dentist in case I don’t survive it. In October 2019 I had a checkup with the dentist and had been experiencing some sporadic pain in my top back teeth which my dentist upon examination said was not caused by my teeth but it might be my sinuses. I thought that if it was my sinuses it would be an infection and would pass. however I was still in pain in January 2020 and I was having to hold my face to eat because of the pain. So I saw my doctor. My doctor referred me to the hospital. And the hospital reject the appointment referring me back to my dentist. By then it was April 2020 and the country was in lockdown. Naturally I could not have an appointment with my dentist until they opened up again in September 2020 so I rang them and made an appointment for a triage phone call ahead of a physical appointment in October 2020. That triage appointment never happened; I waited with my phone for the call but the call never came. So today December 16, 2020 I have called again and asked for triage appointment again I now have a triage on January 6 in view of the fact that I am still experiencing pain over a year on that cannot be treated by my doctor or the hospital but has been referred back to the dentist and then he’ll talk to me on the phone in January. I Have quit my job which has helped with the pain but I have now have no income I am not entitled to any benefits and there is high unemployment due to covert so I am finding it hard to find new work. I also hate letting my child down has also not had a dentist appointment since October 2019 and his teeth are growing in one of which he says he’s not grown in straight and I want that treated before it finishes growing in so that his teeth grow in straight otherwise it’s something that would need to be corrected after its groaning which is obviously much more intrusive and very unfair on him.
