You're right what you say about the cost of a check up Cranky but come on now, are you seriously saying that 'private' dentists are somehow better than NHS?
I had a cracked tooth that my private dentist kept trying to save (bless, nothing to do with the money he was making on it I'm sure) - deep filling, root canal blah blah. In the end I had a gold crown fitted that set me back nearly £300 and in total that 1 tooth cost me around £500. The crown fell out a year later, he charged me £50 to stick it back on and it then cracked and fell off another year later. I didn't even bother going back to him.
He also did NHS patients but only if they were on benefits. So are you saying that the NHS patient would have had worse treatment that me?
I have BUPA through work and had an op a couple of years ago. The consultant who did it was also working for the local NHS hospital. Surely he wouldn't skimp on the surgery for NHS patients?
