Dentists - license to print money?
A family member has just had some dental work carried out but has had to go back for emergency treatment as his gum became infected due to (he claims) the fact that the dentist accidentally sliced it open when trying to remove a tooth. Should he have to pay again if indeed, the infection was caused by poor dental practice…

Price for Dentures
Dad has very few of his own teeth left, they are mixed in with a couple of bridges and some crowns as well as one back tooth that has been root filled but just has the shell of a tooth left having been filled. Can anyone give a rough idea what it would cost to get full dentures fitted. He is an NHS patient.

Dental hygienist/staining removal
I’ll start by saying I feel really stupid as I seem to have created a problem unnecessarily and am now looking for guidance. About 15 months ago my long term (25years or so) dentist retired and I had to find another practice. All fine, registered with a new (nhs) dentist and had a check up. He recommended the services of a…

Supposedly 'free offer' of Gruum shampoo bar
Did anyone else apply for the "free offer" of a Gruum shampoo bar during September? And if so did you receive it? I'd been thinking of trying a shampoo bar and this offer seemed to be an ideal opportunity, as the bars are generally a rather expensive alternative to liquid shampoo. I was asked to pay £3.95 for postage ...…

Caught by diet pill scam
My wife unfortunately didn't exercise enough caution when she accepted a "Free Trial" of diet pills. Once they arrived she examined the paperwork, found it unreasonable and then tried to return the pills by phoning the number given. No answer - just a recording. Cutting a long story short, I now know this is a scam which…

Depressed about dental work, constant redos and it's cost
Hands up I confess I didn't look after my teeth when I was in my 20s and 30s. Then having a nice job I decided to go an get all the work I need done done and take the sedation option as I absolutely hate the dentist and my teeth are very sensitive. I spent about £1100 mixed between NHS with the £300 treatment cap and…

Dental hygienist charges
Hi moneysavers! Longtime reader of threads, first time poster - wondered if anyone has any advice for me. I recently joined a new dentist surgery after a several years of not seeing one. She said I should book a private cleaning with a hygienist or could have NHS but not as good in terms of stain removing. She convinced me…

Physio
I need some physio on my back. I find NHS physio so over stretched and under funded, I am thinking of going private. I don't have any medical insurance I can claim the cost back from. Having a quick look around, it' looks like I'll be charged between £55-60 for an initial consultation and then £40-50 for appointments…

Invisalign advice - different timeframes for same work?
I've had two quotes in London for Invisalign. Bupa and Sensu. They quoted the same but one would be done in 15 to 18 months and the other in 2 years. The shorter length one also said I would have a fixed retainer afterwards but would also give the nighttime one. The one that takes longer said they'd give me two extra sets…

Tyme (Pro) iron or similar?
Hi peeps I'm looking for someone who has purchased a genuine Tyme or Tyme Pro iron (or any other brand that promises to curl your hair).

Flu vaccine
I'm looking for stats on what your average case of Flu costs the NHS. Obviously its going to be skewed as most cases of flu are never reported, just managed at home, I'm just curious how much money the NHS saves by vaccinating.
