Private Health or NHS
Hi all I am in the process of sorting out my life insurance once and for all. While fact-finding and researching, a friend suggested I could just get basic life insurance and then get private health insurance as it might be cheaper that way than a life insurance including critical or terminal included. However, having…

Boots Bundle Deal? Or not so...
I have just found that currently with the special offers on the boots website (18/02/21) they have a Nivea Men Bundle for £12.50, however if you purchase them all separately it’s 38p cheaper, plus with the saving of £2 on a £10 spend on selected toiletries (which isn’t recognised in the bundle offer) you save even more. I…

The Great 'Medical Tourism' Hunt
It's no surprise that operations and dentistry are often a lot cheaper if done outside the UK; but of course it's balanced by the difficulty of aftercare and concerns over regulation and quality. So I wanted to tap MoneySavers' collective wisdom to find out more. If you've been abroad for medical or dental treatment, I'd…

Receeded Gum
Hi All, I'm in a bit of a predicament at the moment. For the past year I've had what I would say looks like a really bad receeded gum, it's on one of my bottom front teeth so really noticable but it doesn't cause me any pain whatsoever. I moved cities quite a while ago now but never got around to finding a dentist before…

£160 for a special filling? Was not given nhs option
I am currently registered as an NHS patient at my practice. Roughly, 14 years ago I had an issue with a rear molar. I had preliminary root work and a temporary cap/filling put on top. The dentist charged me £100-300 (memory foggy) and booked in and quoted roughly another £500 for the actual cap. I was not told at the…

Before starting the contact lens test the optician…

Options for molar filling...
I've been to my dentist today for a checkup and we discussed the fate of at least one of my fillings, an upper molar which has a white (private) filling. There have been a few twinges and apparently it looks like it is beginning to fail, which given that it is approx. 15 years old is reasonable. I have some amalgam…

Reliable vitamins online - recommended sites
'WHICH' released an article about a year ago on a study they did on various online vitamin retailers and their products. The result was quite shocking, with some products containing half of the vitamins shown on the label. Can anyone recommend trustworthy companies/sites/brands to purchase vitamins from?

Best way to get private healthcare cover?
Just looking into getting private health cover as my NHS GP has been a joke recently. I mean they always were a joke because it took a month just to get an appointment, but since covid all they do is suggest you to either go private or go to A&E because they don't want to put themselves at any risk whatsoever by seeing you…

NHS Dental current treatment ban?
Hi, bit of a weird question but I cannot seem to find an answer online. Wonder if there are any experts or NHS dentists who could answer for me? Broke a largish filling around April when all dentists were shut. Not an issue, no pain, just annoying getting food stuck in it all the time. Been brushing twice a day as usual…

Private dental treatment from NHS Dentist -advice please
Went to the dentist today as a piece of tooth fell off one of my molars. I am 54 and most of my back teeth have fillings due to a sweet tooth over the years. The dentist advised he could do a crown on the NHS so I am really pleased about that as thought he would just have to remove it. My two front teeth and one next to it…
