That's more a symptom of a bad dentist.
It takes a great deal of time to do a root canal treatment properly.
This should not be governed by time and cost but by doing a proper job.
Like I said, if the treatment isn't done properly, that's a bad dentist.

So the choices are reduced to not doing the work at all or doing it at a loss.

At less of a profit.

I suppose one could describe a loss as "less of a profit" That's
probably how Mr Blair's cronies would put it.



This is the precise reason why many dentists have packed in doing NHS
work rather than not doing a proper job.

I agree that a lot have packed it in.

Hmm.... I wonder why...
