Hoping for some advice - my son (10) was on a wait list for a large filling at Kings due to dental phobia. Found out six weeks later his referral was rejected as we are out of catchment (we are in Beckenham and the error was caused by referring dentist).

He has now been re-refered to Bromley paediatric dental but tonight he is in AGONY- this cannot wait- does anyone know if I turned up at Kings tomorrow morning whether they would sort his tooth out same day (with sedation)? Apparently they have a wait list in Bromley of 800 children, my son cannot wait that long


Appreciate any advice

Poor thing. If he's in pain then there may be infection - it is highly unlikely the tooth would be filled whilst there's infection. I would suggest getting an emergency appointment at a normal dentist where they can assess the situation and perhaps provide a prescription for antibiotics. Highlighting the situation to your dentist may mean in a few days, once the antibiotics settle in, they can put a temporary filling in the tooth (if your son allows - usually done without needles)and possibly advice on your next steps. Not a dentist but someone who has been through this scenario before. I'd also suggest he stop eating on that side of his mouth and only drink fluids (hot or cold) through a straw to prevent the nerve getting triggered.


All the best.

Thank you so much for the advice. I think some haribo at a party yesterday kicked off the pain flair up. It had subsided today. My husband is visiting my sons dentist tomorrow for his own check up, so will ask him what to do. Temp filling without needles would be a great option, as I fear a full filling without sedation will give him a needle phobia for life!

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
