We got a filling overseas which leaked and caused a bad root infection. Now back to the UK we have been waiting months to be treated. Dentists say they can't operate without an NHS referral, we get an NHS referral but no response for over a month now. We have Bupa insurance and can pay up front but the poor girl is still in such pain. We are in Essex and people are telling us that the system is breaking down especially for Children. Is there anything further we can do?
