Thanks to everyone who has responded.

I did contact the pacemaker team yesterday and they said that it would be okay to go ahead with the dentists but to speak to the Consultant before hand. I also thought that if my appointment time is not first thing I may be kept in overnight, as I know the date of the appointment but not the time.

So I will have to contact the dentists and wait even longer for this dental work to be done now as I do need to get the pacemaker fitted. The reason that I am getting fed up with this is that I have had to wait 3 months for the dental appointment and have now heard that the dentist is also leaving..........

HI, I got t o speak to the dentist and he made sure that I was seen. I spent 3 hours in the chair over two days getting sorted. I only need the crown doing the day after the pacemaker. He could have done it sooner but I wanted to see if the root canal settled and it has. So am very pleased but those hours in the dentists chair seemed very long........ xx

Hello :-)

This is good news that you have managed to get it done I am pleased :-)

I have spent many hours in the dentist chair and have a fear of them , had root canals and Bridges done so I know that feeling but at least it is done now and you can go ahead with the pacemaker :-)

Let us know how you get on :-) x
