https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/nonclinical-discussions/9880/dentist have just had a phone call from my dentist practice I have had to wait over a year on a waiting list for an NHS dentist. Went for my initial appt nearly a month ago and was told I needed an urgent filling so booked it for the following week.

He first treated my tooth abscess then couple of weeks ago once the abscess had gone did 5 fillings of broken teeth. I will not in his words &quot;Be allowed any heroic treatment for 2 years and expect more broken teeth&quot; After 2 years if l want to remodel my mouth or do anything more than basic he will do it. </p> <p>Apparently bereavement stress for those with it lasts for about 2 years. In that time we are open to all health problems going.&nbsp; Before 2 years l risk any major health work breaking down or causing mega problems.</p> <p>Hence my tooth root abscess starting within a couple of weeks of Brian&#39;s death. 2 weeks is how long he said it takes the immune system to compromise post a stressful experience. He said stand by l am in for a host of health problems. So far have added a cold and uti onto the list. He also warned that total recall would go screwy but got sidetracked and l had my mouth jammed open so couldn&#39;t ask on that one.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
