"orthodonics"

About: Birmingham Dental Hospital

After waiting for over a year for an appointment, leaving my condition to get worse after the constant changes to my appointment date, sometimes notifying me the day before! I was met by bafflement by what i thought would be a simple diagnosis of jaw malocclusion after seeing 4 different dentists i was met by a consultant who had no interest in what i had to say and when i was not happy with the treatment offered it i was met with 'either have it or don't'. I am still left waiting 2 months later for any response! though I didn't expect any less from the NHS. My health is my priority and i do not want to have any treatment i deem to be unnecessary or harmful and should at least be given a second opinion and not be treated as though I'm just a patient who doesn't know anything.
