Visible to anyone in the world

I have had to postpone my dental appointment when I had covid 19, so now I have 2 loose teeth and still feeling the effects of covid 19.
Now I seem to have caught another virus, or it could be a flu or cold but not so debilitating as covid.

 However, I still have a niggly cough with phlem, so I don't feel well enough yet to go to the dentist at the moment, as I am still having a coughing attack now and then.

I don't like having tooth ache my gums are sore, I use painkillers and salt water mouth wash everyday. I just have to wait to go to the dentist when I am feeling much better.

I used to have an NHS dentist, now I have to pay when they all went private. I can't really afford it myself, so a relative is kindly going to have to pay it for me. This is quite humiliating!  After being with the NHS all these years.

Maybe this government expect us to pull our own teeth out ourselves with the pliers? lol!  🦷🔧
