|
|
By:

By:
Oh are we paying twice or three times then?
|

By:

By:

Spent nigh on 1500 with uk dentist over 18 months,work was appalling,having it all redone in Spain,an injection for a filling in Spain is far far better than over here,there is no numbness after the work,you can eat drink straightaway,they use an ointment before the injection, 1 inspection,2 xrays and 2 fillings plus mouthwash £53, surgery's spotless with all the up to date gear

@ lfc I got referred by my dentist to a clinic to extract an infected crown. I got charged £4. Hardly a kings ransom.

By:
yes not so bad dave1357, did you pay any tax that month, national insurance?
|
|
By:
anything paid to your dentist for previous work to tooth?
|
|
By:
I think the max is £200 for treatment - daffodil obv went private. Can't remember what I paid the time I got referred. Most recently I had a root filling and a replacement crown - think that was £150ish.
I neglected my teeth when I was younger and had crowns put in, so they are gradually failing. I suppose its implants in due course, but that isn't on the nhs. |

unbelievable the cost.

I mean it really is crazy how people are being ripped off.

By:
£150 for root canal filling, and they don`t even work %50 of the time.

Dentists, Vets and Undertakers
.... all rip off merchants. |
|
By:
lol £150 is nothing for medical treatment. Fack knows how much it would cost in the USA.
|
|
By:
Root canal treatment takes as long as it takes to get a haircut and the barber only charges a tenner
 |
|
By:
Vets and Undertakers are worse.
|
|
By:
£50 to look at the dog and another £50 a pill.
Undertakers, over 5000 for an average funeral. A disgrace. |

|
By:
.... the Dentists.

|
By:
Anybody that spends over 2k on dental treatment are either vain or has too much money.
|

By:
How's the cost unbelievable? The dentist spent 7 years in uni ffs
Vets...they top their high school classes then spend forever in uni as well Don't know about funerals but I'm sure someone would launch a low-cost no frills funeral if it could be done for peanuts |

I'd guarantee you would have plenty of fillings if you had gone to the dentist regularly over the years. I wonder how many fillings that most people have were necessary for their teeth rather than necessary to support the dentist's income? Few people ever get a second opinion after a dentist has suggested they need fillings. I did on one occasion and I shocked when realised what one dentist was up to. |

Its no wonder they are battering the doors down to get in to Britain. |

I know for a fact that the dentist in my story invented work.
When talking to people and they mention they were patients of his, I usually say. ''I bet you've got a lot of fillings.'' They always say something like ''well I have actually.'' He must have put in thousands of needless fillings over the years. I bet the figures for dental health in the area that he covered showed a marked improvement when he retired. |
|
By:
Where fillings are concerned. I'd advise anyone who's been told they need them to get a second opinion.
They might be surprised at the result. |
