She told the BBC that she woke up with a sudden sharp pain last Thursday. Mrs Hey believes she is either suffering from lost fillings or is developing an abscess.

"I've done a lot of internet research; I must have looked at 20 local dentists. But they all say the same - unless my face is swollen they won't see me."Mrs Hey says she has been able to manage the pain with prescription painkillers."It's scary not knowing if I have an abscess forming and what the long-term implications are.The BDA says Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland seem to be far more advanced in getting UDC centres up and running compared with England.

My dentist said they were not ready because of lack of PPE. I need a r/canal. My dentist gave me antibiotics. After crying and not sleeping for days, my doctor gave me liquid morphine. I am now pain free as I think my root has died. saveatoothorlife but gov could have done more

'Potentially '? Ive had 2 cracked teeth that ive been in agony with and cant get a dentist for treatment anywhere!!!

And I am one of them and naturally very cheesed off and a little (ok a LOT ) grumpy.

Teeth can wait

And many other vital medical requirements.

So what’s happening then?

Any idea of when it’s coming back to normal ? At least the emergency ?

We urgently need emergency Dental units. It’s so scary to think some one could die of an infection which normally would be treated. There must be an answer to this. 🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘🆘

About time the Dentist were considered essential!

Pointing out the obvious again I see. Stop wasting my money on crap journalism

I've had a golfball size swelling my gum on and off for 2 weeks, got no way of getting my xray done as I cant get to the hospital and even then I have to be sedated to fix my teeth. Lockdown literally came at the worst time for me. This tooth is more likely to kill me atm lol

before the virus this statement could apply

I hardly think that's a major issue. Life and death stuff first, then we can deal with the frivolities.

Dentists want to look after their communities and even volunteer on the front line. They have unfortunately been reprimanded for trying to help and volunteer by the CDO. Poor planning and leadership from the Sara Hurley, Chief Dental Officer...

Here in Northern Ireland I was told to make an appointment for my cracked tooth when I was experiencing severe pain. Bupa huh?

ASK YOUR FAKE QUEEN ELIZABETH

Yes because thousands of dentists wanted to believe they can become doctors through the back door by enlisting for covid-19 hospitals, forgetting their responsibility to THEIR patients.. hero's award wanted SkyNews

This reminds me of this....😂😂

Yaaaaooww! My tooth hurty appointment is cancelled then! (only joking) 😁

Leadership, Jim, but not as we know it with Captain Raab on bridge | John CraceThe buck has always stopped with the prime minister. Now, with Boris Johnson ill, it seems the buck stops nowhere If Raab catches the COVID19 RishiSunak will be next in line to lead... as Sunak already had the virus, he’ll be less likely to catch it again. 'Boris might not be everyone’s idea of a national Daddy, but he’s the only Daddy we’ve got and no one wants to lose their Dad.' WTF? Are you having a laugh?

Coronavirus patient deaths rise by 758 in England'I thought I wasn't going to see my girls grow up.' Tara Jane Langston, who posted a video of herself in intensive care being treated for COVID19, says being ill with the virus was 'distressing and traumatic'. For the latest on coronavirus, click here: Do quit with the scare stories. There are mentally fragile people out here who are struggling to cope with this level of fear being pumped out by the hour!!! Should have shown that to the dog walkers who drove to walk their dogs on the South Downs, the 3 builders building a house in Poynings and the cyclist who drove their car to a remote spot to cycle that I passed today out cycling. Stay home you morons and exercise from home. Wow! Thankfully she's a lot better now. People really need to stay indoors. Some people were claiming it wasn't COVID19 when the video was initially posted, saying it was lungs cancer.

BAME groups hit harder by Covid-19 than white people, UK study suggestsResearch indicates virus has disproportionate impact on non-white critically ill patients Is that a UK thing? 'BAME'? I have never seen that before. The same is happening in the US. Hopefully MayorofLondon can produce targeted campaigns to educate and raise awareness. Its because our cultures are cultures of defiance and stubbornness. We need to learn from this .

NHS staff given conflicting advice over resuscitation of coronavirus patients‘It is very confusing for people. The advice is not clear. This is a major ethical dilemma’ Don't you just love phrases like 'aerosol generating procedure' which might as well be written in Mandarin for the average reader to understand when it isn't spelt out by the reporter. That should be simple, If the patient hasn't signed a DNR then you resuscitate them!
