I found an opened letter lying on our kitchen table last night which I thought you might want to hear about.
It was from our dentist and it read as follows:
"I am writing to remind you that it is now twelve months since your last dental check-up. Please contact the practice to arrange a suitable appointment.
"Our practice emphasises preventive dentistry and an important part of this is to attend on a regular basis so that problems can be detected at an early stage and therefore be prevented from progressing into difficult treatments.
"If you already have an appointment booked, please disregard this letter.
"Yours sincerely
"Dr B Stafford
"PS We wish to remind you that charges are payable in advance and in full on the day. A fee may be charged if appointments are broken or cancelled without 24 hours notice. Please keep us informed of any change of address."
But here's the thing.
The letter wasn't addressed to either Vanessa or myself.
It was addressed to "Mast Jamie White."
And whilst he did attend an initial appointment last year, he didn't receive any treatment owing to the fact that he only had four teeth.
Still, as a responsible father, I will bring the correspondence to his attention with a suggestion that he gets in touch with the practice as a matter of urgency.
