Hi, I've not logged on for a while but people were very helpful to me about a year ago when my dentist went private and made it clear he didn't want me around any more. To cut a long story short, I decided to stay regardless and after the initial shock and upset things settled down as normal.
Until today, when I rang for an appointment and got an answerphone message saying that he had closed down due to ill health and because of "untraceable computer error" a very few patients' addresses had been lost and they could not be informed. Oh yeah! Strange how the computer mangled my address.
I feel quite tearful about all this. I had bad phobia problems in my younger days and I have been with this dentist about thirty years or so. I listened to the answerphone three times till it sank in.
I know I have no choice but to find a new dentist now, which is what people advised me to do a year or so ago when my dentist more or less told me to get lost the first time. It just seems incredibly scary, that's all, and I've gone to jelly even thinking about it.
