sod it I am changing my dentist and its back...

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 strikeWith 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.

Re: sod it I am changing my dentist and its back...

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

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

Re: sod it I am changing my dentist and its back...

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

Re: sod it I am changing my dentist and its back...

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.

Re: sod it I am changing my dentist and its back...

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.

Re: sod it I am changing my dentist and its back...

I pay £10 per month.

That gets me

2x check up
2x dental hygenist
20% off other treatment

Cheers,

Nigel

Re: sod it I am changing my dentist and its back...

Immigrants hey Nick Griffin might mention it tonight.
Oh, maybe not, they're white!

Does the Swede talk like the muppet chef?

Save some pain and money and don't go to the dentists.

It's the price you have to pay when your 80+ I'm afraid
