Not sure about the aerosol, it's the other end of the alimentary canal
that I'm having problems with.

According to Google "aerosol work" requires negative pressure rooms
or similar. Presumably the NHS is unwilling to cover the cost of
installing such rooms and so their use is confined to private
patients whose treatment will.

Or more likely, private dentists can just do what they like as theyre not
restricted by NHS rules.

If they're not worried about the possibility of catching Covid9 themselves
and infecting all of their private patients into the bargain, and getting
sued as a result, then you're perfectly correct.

Which does of course depend on how you view the current pandemic. The greatest
ever threat to civilisation and the word economy as we know it, or the greatest
ever hoax and/or load of bulll****.

No, that's global warming.

Private practice in medicine has a long history/tradition of cutting
corners/costs to increase profits at the expense of patient safety. I
doubt dentistry is any different.

Why does everything have to be binary? Is it some pervasive consequence
of having a digital world?

The truth lies somewhere in between. Covid is quite a serious threat, we
don't yet know quite how serious. AIDS turned out not to be as bad as it
could have been, at least in the more developed parts of the world.

Climate change is worth keeping an eye on, although to my mind the real
benefits might be in air pollution and the cost of current policies is
certainly significant.

Both Thatcher and Blair had some good policies.

The trouble with the binary view is that it gave us Hitler, Stalin, and
Mao, and it gives us Trump and Johnson now. It's easy to sell a simple
proposition, much more difficult to present a balanced view.

Reminds me of the Swedish chemist sketch.

Chemist with swedish accent...

Chemist: May I help you sir?
Punter: Yes, I'm after some deoderant.
Chemist: Ball or aerosol?
Punter: Neither, it's for my armpits.

Dentists should be banned from doing NHS and private. They have been
known to slag of NHS just to make you go private.

Since dentists (as opposed to GPs) are only paid for what they do, why
aren't they asking people to come back for treatment?

Sure. I had a crown and an implant (started just before lockdown) completed
last month. I've always paid for dentistry in all the countries I've lived
in.

Same here. And when you have to pay for *all* your medical treatment,
not just dentistry, it teaches you to look after yourself properly.
