00:00Well I went to the dentist about 10 years ago and I missed an appointment one minute
00:03and at the same dentist I've been going for 50 years and they just blocked me off.
00:09So it's all, it's all money, it's all private, all money, it's all about money, everything's
00:13about money.
00:14Yeah I have another problem with the dentist, I suppose I had a dentist on the NHS for years
00:19and years and then she retired and I went to, I had a few problems so I ended up going
00:27private but I mean you know my teeth are fairly good shape so you know.
00:32When I was younger my parents used to sort all of that stuff for me, now I'm a bit older
00:37finding a correct dentist is difficult because there's a lot of waiting times, you have to
00:43wait like if you want, even if you want to sign up to a new dentist it takes like a month
00:48or two months and by that time the problem might have got worse.
00:51Not for me but I think for some people I do know they had like quite a while just to find
00:55a dentist, yeah no it is quite an issue.
