to the NHS.i am fed up with paying exorbitant fees - 60+ for the hygenist, £25 for a check up £600 + for a crown and root filling.Enough is enough!And people complain about postmen going on strike  With dentists and other professional groups gaily ripping off the public, I say strike hard i say for better pay and conditions!Whats good for one lot is good for the rest.
Someone mentioned that NHS dentists receive about 80-90k pa.In my book that is enough

If you find one, do let the rest of Sussex know.

That's expensive, mine charges £48 for the consultation and the hygenist combined.

Dave | Mine is £45.60 for a hygienest and general checkup. I do get it back though as I'm a student.

I pay £11 p/m but don't pay for checkups or hygenist.
All the bigger jobs are discounted too. I've had a single bad tooth for years and finally got the filling changed to white last year, which only cost £40 |

Should be free as part of NI contributions in my opinion at the very least basic checkup's and a clean every six month's.

I pay £19 a month to Denplan.
I get dentist check-ups and hygienist every three months for that.
The wife is £11 a month, because she's on a six month plan.

I pay £10 per month.
That gets me
2x check up
2x dental hygenist
20% off other treatment
Cheers,
Nigel

Oh, maybe not, they're white!
Does the Swede talk like the muppet chef?
