just a quick poll, when to the Dentists today, his prices were,

1. 6 monthly clinical exam - 28.50
2. Scale and polish - 37
3. mod amalgam filling (small) - 69
4. upper molar root canal work - 270

It's okay, not all for me. This was for 5 of family dental treatment. that said, I ended up paying the total bill, which wasn't cheap.

Interested in prices round the UK.

It's not NHS prices because they would have been/ should have been cheaper,
Must be privet prices, and could have been more in any big city.

Is that because big cities have bigger hedges?  We Don't Care About Pot Holes !!

NHS dentist don't exist except in fairy tales.

You don't have a lot of options apart from grim and bear it, so to speak. Unless you want to have rotten teeth.

My dear old mother, who's in her 80's had a couple of crowns and some other dentistry last year - 3k! Like a farmer, you don't see a poor dentist.

First visit to a dentist here in CH will cost you at least GBP600, thereafter they'll charge you whatever to do more work. Her ladyship's father's last visit in Spring cost him GBP2,170 approx on today's FX rate.

Tandemman,
your spot on.

athelstan,
I totally agree with you, there are some very hard working Dentists out there who do put the heart and soul into there work,

I do now of a few Dentist's who Meanly do NHS work and have a room for a few new patients !!! so some fairy tales can come try.

It's like this There are some very good LR service centre's but there is also some very poor one's, The same can be said about plumber's, builder's etc etc
(Find a good one and stick with it)
all the best

All hail King Chicken

if you are prepared to work hard and have a supportive PCT framework then the NHS is viable for some dentists, there are about 60 NHS Dentists in our Town and only a handful of private practices. more than 40 are accepting new NHS patients.
Sunny South Yorkshire you can't beat it.
