My dentist has told me I can't see her again as I don't go regularly enough.

cutting down her days means also that she has to cut down on her patient list and denplan patients would have priority. To get onto denplan, a denplan dentist has to do an assessment and there would be a contract. There are different payment options, depending on the dental care required in the future

I don't know, could you ask your surgery to advise you? x

I've heard of dental plans but not looked into them. Do they cover some or all the cost of treatment. And how much a month are they?
Thanks x

Btw most modern dentists (private or not) are not rough these days, I have a dental phobia and I find modern dental care a lot more empathetic

sazz1, you mustn't take it personal as by me dentists are getting rid of their NHS patients like they are going our of fashion. So many people just cannot get seen and I imagine your dentist is most probably cutting down on her NHS patients and making her money elsewhere. Are you able to pay into a dental plan?

Did you explain to her what happened? If not, write her a note explaining the circumstances- tell her how much you like and trust her. Worth a try - good dentists are like hens teeth!
