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?


spoke to my dentist about this and he said Government cut backs were
causing
this......that is why he is pushing private work .....



But nothing explains why our private dentists are the most expensive in
Europe, if not the world. They remind me of gas engineers, who think they
have us over a barrel but who are actually chasing fewer and fewer jobs.
