    Ok this is kind of a rant and kind of a question, I am from Laois but lived in dublin for years and only living back down home the last 6 months or so, so I don't really have a dentist down here. I tried to get to see one yesterday but couldn't get in anywhere think it was because I wasn't a regular patient even though my top right side molar was killing me, they gave me an appointment for 3:30 today so I struggled along with pain killers until then, Got to the dentist today to find out my medical card was taking away something about a form I got from them n never sent it back I know for a fact I never got said form, the dentist wanted paying I had no cash on me so said I would run to the bank and get it as I really wanted this tooth gone..... When I got back the receptionist said I lost my appointment and they were full for the rest of the day that I could come back Tuesday I saw red and told them to F off. I knew I wouldn't see a dentist till Tuesday and I had a fair idea I had an abscess and needed an antibiotic so contacted my local doctor and explained my situation and about my medical card he seen me confirmed I had an abscess and gave me a course of antibiotics and what's more charged me nothing, said when I sorted my medical card the payment would issue to him then... Finally the pain is dying, but is there really not an out of hours dentist in Laois/Offaly????
