Booked my first NHS appointment

#1 Post by bubsy08 »

went to dentist in december and told him about my overbite. When I bite my bottom teeth touch the roof of my mouth and there is about a 8-10mm gap between top and bottom teeth. The dentist said that their was nothing he could do, so I asked if he could refer me to an orthodontist. He said yes. I had another appointment the day after as well so asked again just to make sure he did refer me which he confirmed. Anyway at the begining of the week I was begining to wonder what was happening and was going to phone up the hospital to check if they had received my referal. But on wednesday I received a letter asking to call them to book an appointment. The earliest I could get was 11th march. So I am well chuffed now just hope the orthodontist will sort out my teeth
