LOL @Bill16 , if I ever visit a uni dentist, I hope I don't get all my teeth pulled out and replaced with dentures!

Yes thanks for that @Bill16 I can't access public dental because I did apply and forgot to see a dentist within 3 months they specified in small print. They are now saying the vouchers have expired. I thought that was a bit ridiculous in retrospect but my mistake. I did try and ring them but no phones were in attendance within the given opening hours. I presume they have have hardly any staff attending to calls with covid. My chipped tooth happened on the weekend

Is there any reason you went with HBF compared to other insurance @TAB? Theres so many to choose from its hard to know where to start. Like you I can't afford health insurance. I allready have house insurance and funeral insurance so it all costs money. Hey @tyme all things dental honey! Yeah most people myself included have had bad experiences with dentists. So youre not wrong!
