The Elite:The Good, The Bad and the Glitchy

I struggle to make sense of dentist's charges. I was away at my sister's once and needed emergency treatment. I got a same day appointment at her NHS dentist and paid £45 for a temporary filling. When I got home I went to my own (private) dentist, as advised by emergency dentist. He replaced the temporary filling with a permanent one - for £45. I only see a private dentist because I've been with him for a long time and he switched from NHS a few years ago when there was some big hoohah, can't recall what now. I reckon they make it up as they go along with the charges.


Work is quiet, so I'm sneaking off to spend my one and only Walkers voucher now

mhoc I hadn't realised it was that expensive at the dentist :eek:

My bro doesn't have an NHS dentist and he pays he went to emergency dentist for a filling after trying a filling thing he bought in Boots that didn't work .

Think it cost him £18 for the dentist filling.

we possibly have an expensive dentist but the previous dentists was so horrible he terrified me and we stopped going - this was probably the worse decision I ever made.
The new dentist started at the practice and he had to do a salvage job but he was very understanding and he got my trust and confidence again - you have to be able to trust your dentist 100%

This is why I still pay for the kids dental treatments, much rather the mither of getting them home twice a year to see our own dentist and then I know they have been treated properly.

I suppose as with all things now you are supposed to shop around and compare prices

I think my dentist still takes children as NHS patients which is reasonable

Yes I think they do make their prices up as they go along - vets are even worse theough

agree with you on both counts...and having stepped into the wonderful world of opticians over the weekend for the first time,I'm beginning to wonder if they should be added to the list too....
