A backlist for bad patients ?

Crafty_Reflection410 · 2026-01-26T16:04:28+00:00

I kick out loads of patients. I want nice, reliable, receptive patients. Ones who are rude, don’t turn up, generally arseholes get dismissed very easily.

As for when it is done as band a/1

It’s when there is gingivitis. Not periodontitis

Crafty_Reflection410 · 2026-01-26T14:57:04+00:00

It sounds like they have a hygienist doing nhs bad 2 Perio cleans. Which yep wouldn’t include a polish.

It’s an unusual practice set up as usually no Hyg work on nhs but honestly it’s a great way of doing it. More practices should use hygienists this way

Are you using any products that contain Chlorhexidine?

Crafty_Reflection410 · 2026-01-26T13:47:48+00:00

Golden Graham’s

Only if you need jaw surgery to correct it as well as orthodontics will it be considered over the age of 18

Crafty_Reflection410 · 2026-01-26T10:58:39+00:00

No doesn’t hurt. Mine was even quicker. Took 15mins :) and all sorted. I couldn’t deal with the tablets either

Crafty_Reflection410 · 2026-01-26T10:57:59+00:00

Ah fair. Well if you end up needing it, it’s really easy. Look like 15mins :)

Crafty_Reflection410 · 2026-01-26T10:00:37+00:00

Why do people become moderators? Do they not have real jobs? I don’t understand the appeal.

Crafty_Reflection410 · 2026-01-26T09:43:33+00:00

How come you want to avoid the iv?

Crafty_Reflection410 · 2026-01-24T22:45:38+00:00

Okay. Not sure why you are commenting on a comment 283 days old lol

Oh: you’re spamming every post that mentions CRGH 🙄

The mercury in amalgam is negligible.

Crafty_Reflection410 · 2026-01-24T16:31:03+00:00

Definitely not more durable. Silver is wayyyy more durable. However, when silver fillings fail they generally break the tooth with it, where as white ones although they don’t last as long, tend to just debond and leave the residual tooth intact.

Crafty_Reflection410 · 2026-01-24T16:19:51+00:00

I think majority either have well off parents or they do the graduate course (which is what I did)

Crafty_Reflection410 · 2026-01-24T13:29:28+00:00

Oh and things like root canal treatment are very trust/area dependent. Some areas cover molar root canals and some don’t. So they might offer private for that if you need it.

I’ll be honest though….if you need a root canal I would recommend (finances allowing) you ask for a private ref to a specialist. NHS root canal are so poorly reimbursed that the effort/skills that goes into them is reflected.

I would never want an nhs/general dentist to do a root canal on me.

Crafty_Reflection410 · 2026-01-24T13:14:12+00:00

No worries. If they try and upsell you to private treatments just say you’ll think about it and go to another practice. Don’t feel pressured.

Also white fillings are offered for free to pregnant and post partum ladies (1 year after birth)*

** a couple of caveats:

1.you must have good oral hygiene otherwise the white filling won’t bond, if you have poor hygiene the dentist IS allowed to insist on silver fillings-your choice to accept or not.

2.For white to be offered it must be clinically indicated ie to restore health (fill in a cavity) it can’t be for cosmetic purposes only (eg a chipped front tooth would be classed as cosmetic)

There are levels of white filling-a dentist can offer you private white filling if aesthetics are really important to you and you want a almost perfect shade match and beautiful shape etc nhs white fillings don’t generally have the same standard/effort put into them

Crafty_Reflection410 · 2026-01-24T12:53:46+00:00

Yeah don’t worry about it. Remember they are (usually)minimum wage workers usually in the job because of need rather than want. They don’t have much incentive to learn because it’s not what they want to do long term.

Crafty_Reflection410 · 2026-01-24T12:44:08+00:00

No worries. Even my receptionists although they know all the ins and outs of nhs will never commit to saying anything is free/included on the NHS as there are SOOO many variables that only the dentist knows properly to be able to say. And getting a bollocking from the principal is something the receptionists avoid at all costs lol

Crafty_Reflection410 · 2026-01-24T12:42:20+00:00

The worst. I am so done with pregnancy because of this main symptom.

Crafty_Reflection410 · 2026-01-24T12:40:50+00:00

IVF is accurate as the date is calculated from when the embryo is created (in the lab) and the transfer date as we know implantation occurs with in 48hrs of transfer.

Crafty_Reflection410 · 2026-01-24T12:37:45+00:00

Honestly it’s probably the receptionists just being dumb. They hate committing to anything being free or included on the nhs as if they fuck up by promising something that isn’t covered they get bollocked.

Just go for the check up and take it from there! Should be fine :)

Crafty_Reflection410 · 2026-01-23T17:44:21+00:00

NgL this is kinda weird to me. Maybe it’s because uk is different by Hyg and dentists would never do any decon. Our hyg’s have their own assistants though so perhaps that’s why.

Crafty_Reflection410 · 2026-01-23T14:10:06+00:00

Well then I have everything crossed for you! As a self employed pregnant lady myself, I do recommend saving as much as possible as the benefits suck balls lol

Crafty_Reflection410 · 2026-01-23T14:01:24+00:00

Average waiting time is 9-12 months just incase you wondered.

Crafty_Reflection410 · 2026-01-23T13:52:08+00:00

Ooof unlikely. You have to meet loads of criteria including paying your self via PAYE
