Can’t register with dentist?

It’s my own fault I got removed from my dental practice originally, I had such a phobia after having some work done when I was 18 I didn’t go for 7 years. Fortunately i had no problems in that time.

I’ve been trying to register again since I was pregnant in 2019 but I was put on a waiting list, then Covid happened last March/April and every time I phoned dentists in my area they just said I was on the lists.

I tried again earlier this year and also to register my toddler now but they’re all now saying they aren’t taking NHS patients (including my daughter so I can’t register her either?).

I tried again today with no joy. But now I’m really becoming concerned about a tooth that I think will need a filling, it was fine when I first enquired about registering but it’s been almost 2 years since then and I’m still struggling to get into anywhere 😫 the last couple of days it’s started to become painful and I’m also 11weeks pregnant again so on top of feeling crappy in pregnancy it’s stressing me out.

Is anyone else having issues, is there anything else I can do? 🙁
