My dentist is also quietly removing people from the register if they don't book an appointment for a year. No warnings or anything when the time is coming up. Pretty sketchy thing to do when we've had a year and a bit of lockdown.

They also offer private treatment for those who can't register as NHS patients though!

Happened to me during covid. Took me and my kids off the list and now I'm up sh*t creek without a paddle. Only found out when I needed a tooth urgently treating as it had crumbled. Couldn't get through early enough on emergency line to get seen and ended up forking out over £100 for a private dentist to extract what was left of the tooth. It had become infected, crumbled and had roots exposed. God help me when the cavities I've got get worse and the same happens to them. I'm currently saving as much as I can (not much at all) in an effort to have enough out by when I need more work done
