At St. Pauls Dental Practice, hundreds of people were waiting to receive treatment, including Norman Stephenson, 66. In two days, the office claimed to have enrolled 1,500 people; nevertheless, they cautioned that they would soon have to turn away recruits.
Hundreds of patients waited in line for care at Bristol’s newest NHS dental office, St. Pauls, including Norman Stephenson, 66.
After opening on Monday, the office claimed to have enrolled 1,500 people in just two days, but they issued a warning that they would soon have to turn away newcomers.
In an interview with Sky News on The UK Tonight, the educator revealed that, in an attempt to be seen at a practice, he has been resorting to drastic means to hold his dentures together.
He said to Sky’s Sarah Jane-Mee, “I tried several super glues but they were too brisk and they kept snapping every time I tried to bite into something,” on how he has been repairing a split in the false teeth with hard plastic glue.I found this hard plastic glue that seems to work well with the components of my dental practice. It moved in this way to prevent breaking. Since then, I’ve had to use that.
But it eventually breaks every few days or so. I must thus go do a procedure repeatedly.”
In his “desperate situation,” Mr. Stephenson claimed, he first tried to speak with his BUPA dentist, who had relocated practices throughout Bristol.
