I chipped a tooth on Saturday, and was due a checkup so booked an appointment online on Monday. I couldn't remember the name of my usual dentist, so i just booked the first available appointment (for today).

After booking I got anxious about seeing a new person - I'm AuDHD and find dental treatment difficult - so I phoned to find out who I saw last time and when they would be available. They had nothing for more than two weeks, so i stuck with the locum and just asked them to make a note that I might be anxious.

Went in today to find I was seeing my usual person! They'd swapped patients with the locum so I could see the dentist I was used to. I was so grateful!

One small filling, no drilling, no injection, "see you in 6 months". 😁
