Dentists are warning that the hubs set up to treat emergency patients during lockdown are resulting in some people having teeth removed unnecessarily. Dentist surgeries have been closed for more than 6 weeks now, but patients who need urgent care can get referred to one of more than 400 Urgent Dental Care hubs set up regionally in England. The British Dental Association says the hubs are unable to carry out all necessary treatment, and patients are experiencing delays with their referral.

The charity organising the NHS Volunteer Responder Scheme to help vulnerable people who are self-isolating has introduced a new hotline for people who need help. The Royal Voluntary Service is encouraging anyone who has a medical condition, disability or is pregnant and thinks they could be helped to pick up the phone. Some of the volunteers who have been accepted on the scheme say they are still not being used, despite knowing of some difficulties that people and organisations are having locally.

Plus how to avoid throwing out sentimental items after a loved one has died. Hanging on to items that no longer have any use is not always practical, but perhaps what was 'tat' could be made into beautiful art. Object artist, Katherine Jones has done that, and a photograph of the everyday things which were owned by a Welsh grandmother has been getting a lot of love online. Now more people hope to turn their loved ones possessions into a new type of treasure for their walls.
