    If you do it today that will be longer than 24h notice so shouldn’t be a charge ?

    No charge, you’re all good – only charging for short notice cancellations I.e less than 24 hours

    Have you spoke to them and asked about payment options? Surely they offer something, they would go out of business without some form of customer payment business model in place. Not everyone has the money for dental work sat waiting should they need it, so they must offer something.

    Try talking through your options with them before cancelling, businesses can be very flexible when it’s a case of payment plan or lose custom

    I now live in Canada & hate the dental bills. Spend thousands each year even with dental coverage. My daughter had damaged teeth when she was a toddler from acid reflux, cost $4200 & cover only paid $2000. Kids there are free, that’s how it should be here. When I first moved here I had no cover at all & needed 2 fillings & 1 root canal. It was cheaper to pay for a flight back there for 2 weeks, see my family, go to NHS dentist, pay the fee and spend a couple hundred on whatever then return.

    Anyway, could you not have gone to the emergency dental hospital (NHS)?. Colleges also do cheap dental, they are in training but for ripping teeth out it is a good option.

    Don’t mean to sound like I’m having a dig at all because that’s not my intention – but why book another appointment for just a week away if it’s going to take you a couple of months to save up ? I know you’re saying “in case something happens before then” but what are you hoping might happen ?

    My only advice would be if you keep cancelling and booking for a week later, knowing that without something unexpected you won’t be able to make it, they might get frustrated with you and refuse another appointment for 12 months which is something they mention in their cancellation policy you posted (I appreciate that refers to missed appointments or short notice cancellation) but if you did this a few times they might treat you the same way as it’s equally frustrating for them as a business to manage.

    To young to have dentures . A dentist will refuse to take teeth out that don’t need to be taken out .

    i took that date as it was what was offered thinking i can cancel again if i dont get money,but if i said i want to get appointment for oct time then i have money before then would kick myself.just want it over with dentures are a big thing to get to grips with still got 9 teeth to come out as i said i aint being left with no teeth and when dentures go in will be a bit of pain till gums heal but it was what i wanted so i can live with  that.plus need to go back for adjustments to be made as also told the gums will shrink

    Think i said before about having several trips to the dentist myself in the last few months so i know how costly it is mate. I hope you get it sorted as you seem a decent family guy and a bit of a grafter. I think a video slots prize draw win would sort you out lol ?. Btw don’t take this the wrong way but you said you’d stopped gambling but you got a weekend booster ?. Us gamblers do tell the odd fib ha ha. I’m surprised no one said that yesterday. Anyway good luck.

    Yeah i know what you mean mate we have more in life than we realise sometimes but we all need a break or just a slice of luck every now and then. I’ll be certainly rooting for you in the draw. It would be karma as i don’t know many who deserve a break at the minute for than you do.

    I had a fractured tooth for months plus a mild case of bell’s palsy so literally couldn’t eat on one side of my mouth for months. Was awful. I hadn’t been to dentist in 20 years and now i think 7 times in 9 months. I’m back again August but cba anymore but will go. I know it feels like a never ending saga and ridiculously costly. You will get there in the end it might just be in the end though.
