    NHS dental charges

    It'll be a minimum of band 2, but if it needs a crown will be band 3.

    Although it may well be free for the OP.

    Somehow, particularly as this seems more like a compo thread, I doubt the OP will be back.

    My husband broke a tooth eating a crisp.

    He had an emergency filling by another dentist as his was on holiday , followed by a permanent filling done by his own dentist

    He sent the hard but of crisp , the packet and the bit of tooth to Walkers.

    They replied that the they had found that the 'hard bit' was compressed potato. The machinery had had a blunt blade.

    they forwarded a form of several pages to his dentist to complete regarding what the damage was and what treatment was necessary for the best future protection of the tooth.

    As a result he had root canal treatment and a crown fitted at Waker's expense.

    All the time he was having treatment a very nice lady from Walkers was constantly in touch for updates.

    Two questions:

    Was he visited by Gary Lineker?

    Did he get any free packets of crisps?
    You know what uranium is, right? It's this thing called nuclear weapons. And other things. Like lots of things are done with uranium. Including some bad things.
