The British Dental Association wants rules for dentists eased in Wales.
While more routine treatments have since resumed in Wales under a phased return of services, strict hygiene measures remain in place due to Covid, including allowing downtime between patients., this time has to be used if dentists need to use air, such as for fillings or cleaning, to allow the room to ventilate and then be deep cleaned before the next patient.
Mr Gidney said it meant minor issues, like a small hole in the tooth, which may not be obvious to a patient, could end up needing a major procedure if people were not able to book routine check-ups. "It's kind of causing us sleepless nights at the moment, because we don't know how long it's going to take to be able to get there," added Mr Gidney, who is also a clinical supervisor at the dental teaching hospital in Cardiff.Rebecca Cotterell tried to get an appointment when she started getting tooth ache in mid-2020, but said she was told she could not be seen as her practice was only seeing urgent cases.
She said the pain got worse and she had to have an emergency appointment in the end to remove her tooth in August.
