LOL @Bill16 , if I ever visit a uni dentist, I hope I don't get all my teeth pulled out and replaced with dentures!

Re: Good Morning!

Yes thanks for that @Bill16 I can't access public dental because I did apply and forgot to see a dentist within 3 months they specified in small print.  They are now saying the vouchers have expired.  I thought that was a bit ridiculous in retrospect but my mistake.  I did try and ring them but no phones were in attendance within the given opening hours. I presume they have have hardly any staff attending to calls with covid.  My chipped tooth happened on the weekend

Re: Good Morning!

Yes I used to go to teaching hospital. Have to say you're in pain. They don't know lol @Former-Member @Bill16 

im on gapsaver 60 or something they changed it

Re: Good Morning!

Is there any reason you went with HBF compared to other insurance @TAB? Theres so many to choose from its hard to know where to start.  Like you I can't afford health insurance. I allready have house insurance and funeral insurance so it all costs money.  Hey @tyme all things dental honey! Yeah most people myself included have had bad experiences with dentists. So youre not wrong!
