Dentist's have always been' private' and contacted to the NHS - unlike GP's they do not get assistance with premises, staff etc. Unfortunately, like most of us they can get a better rate elsewhere.
The NHS should provide NHS clinics - there will be plenty of dentists who would work for a salary and we would all be better for all of us.
I still can not beleive in some areas dentists will n0t treat children on the NHS, this is what happened to me but managed to find a great dentist who still takes on NHS patients.
So remember - Dentist's are just glorified Contractors - now that is scary!

PS Im on the look for a good NHS Dentist myself - theres not a lot of Effen Dentists - but if you find a good one - let me know !
Cheers

10 points deducted, I'm afraid. That takes you to the bottom of our "Can't Punctuate for Toffee" league. Lose two more points and it's a public beheading, I'm afraid; CUK Sharia Law, you understand.

That's taking semantics a little too far. Mind you the examination is probably some saving, the treatment itself is sometimes more costly on the NHS.

I think there is some truth in that article, even a filling seems to require 3 visits these days.

Allowing the sale of DIY dentistry kits would be a better bet. Dentists are overpriced for what they do, even in the NHS IMO. How hard can it be to drill a hole and fill it with one of the most toxic elements know to man (Mercury).
