If taking NHS patients on but as I found and 111 none local to me are taking nhs on but are private.
These dentists should be taken down peg or two AND I propose should be subject to market forces thus there should be dentists price comparison site Like is for insurance holidays etc lol
That would sort lot of the dodgy scamming practices out
It’s crazy how expensive dental treatment is. I have a serious dentist phobia, and I was upset by how rude the dentist was to me because of my crumbling teeth, saying I don’t take care of my teeth, so I avoid going to the dentist for those reasons, but also because of how expensive it it. When I had dental treatment, first I had X-rays which I was charged for, then I had an extraction at a separate appointment at the hospital, which I was also charged for. It was an nhs dentist and doesn’t seem to fit hypercat’s price bands, although maybe because mine was split into 2 appointments I was charged for both. I don’t have a dentist now anyway because the whole practice has gone private and everything else has got a huge waiting list just to get accepted onto their books. So I didn’t register with anyone.
I think lot nhs dentists say not accepting patients only private ones to extract max amount of cash.
My teeth are bad from previous dentists chipping damaging my other teeth getting ones out wanted removed.
I remember asking for letter of last dentists after he nearly smashed my jaw trying to extract tooth
Five injections I needed just for one tooth BUT was hard as root had grown like fish hook round jaw THATs why I wanted Letter as last time was horrendus.
Needless to say I never got Letter but dentists did say he would have a go ... like really
