Thanks for the link Den. Spent most of the afternoon trying to sort something out but as it is not classed as an emergency and is regarded as a cosmetic treatment it looks like I will have to wait until Dentist can return to normal. If I was in pain or had an infection the Dentist could give me a prescription but nothing else can be done for the foreseeable future until routine dental treatments are available.

snippet from Den's link

The personal protective equipment dentists wear when using high-speed tools is currently required by hospitals treating coronavirus patients. Without this equipment dentists, hygienists, therapists and nurses are not safe to treat patients as normal.

To be honest I would rather the PPE be used to save lives. Just hoped that it could have been sorted with a spot of glue.
