Well OT of course but anyone got any opinions on the muddle known as NHS
dentistry? Band 3 (£222.50) is supposed to cover crowns and bridges but
it seems dentists are unable, or unwilling, to provide that service.
They say it only covers procedures where there is a "clinical need" but
that seems like a hell of a grey area. I'd say a missing front tooth
should not be classed as cosmetic, but what do I know?
TIA for any input before I'm finally forced to go private?

Well, if you fancy a weekend away in Hungary I've heard they do
expensive dentistry for a lot less than here.

And if you have a problem with it, where are you going to go?

My Polish sister-in-law saves up her toothaches for visits back
to her Polish dentist. It's private, but apparently very much
cheaper than here.


I've just been reading about the Maryland bridge, which seems like an
option given that the teeth either side are pretty good. If the worst
happens I can always glue it back.
