Dentist Prices

Apologies if a thread already exists on this.

Haven’t needed treatment for some time but had a filling this afternoon and was charged £200 which caught me by surprise.

Is this consistent with your local dentist?

I thought the dentist was free.

Never has been unless you are a free NHS patient, if you're working or have an above average income you're paying.

That’s expensive. They are all taking the piss now. My hygienist is 50 quid for 30 mins. Checkup is 35 quid.

At least mine has fixed prices on root canal treatments. When it says “from” expect to pay a shitload more. Modern day thieves.

I left one dentist as I’m sure they had a random number generator every time I had treatment.

I didn't know that (left there in 1978).
No wonder nobody goes to the dentist ; )

There's no in-between, you've got people walking around with barely a tooth in their head or people walking round with what looks like xmas cracker teeth they are that white.

Did you go in for a filling or did you have a checkup and then have it done then and there? Plus X ray, sounds about right.

white fillings are dearer and only done private fees
