Torah Currents

I registerd for dental treatment through NHS direct 18 months ago to be abe to obtain dental treatment, after contacting them every 6 months i am still unable to obtain NHS dental treatment and keep getting put on a waiting list.
I am suffering quite badly now with gum problems and i can not afford private dental treatment on the poor wages that i earn.
I have paid national insurance all my lworking life, could someone please offer a solution other than removing my own teeth?
Firstly let me say thankyou to those who have offered sensible answers,and i will be checking out the advice offered.
As for contacting our MP i have tried to do this with no success.
I have written to him a couple of times and never recieved a reply.perhaps it is because when he is in the constiuancy he seems to spend all his time in expensive eating establishments, proberbly at the taxpayers expense

I found it did not work going on the NHS waiting list.
I used the phone book and rang EVERY dentist myself and asked did they accept NHS patients. If they said they did but were full at the moment I kept ringing them back every week. After a few weeks I had a place with a local dentist.
Often dentists will find you a place with them if other family members are already registered with them….good luck !!
