I signed up with my dentist under the Highland Dental Plan. Sure, it does cost- about £30 a month- but it covers everything. However, my dentist is away doing other things and I have to see someone else- a pity- as the original practitioner was very good with very nervous me.

Still, like the people who bemoan my 'death of town centres' posts, this is progress. I elieve tesco will soon be offering pharmacy/dentist/optician services- and if you're really lucky- a chiropodist service. Can't wait
