View Full Version : Dental rip-off.
I'm just been to the dentist for a check-up. Sat in the chair, dentist looks in gob and says I need to make an appointment with the hygenist-about 20 seconds total time!!!! That'll be £16.50 thankyou very much. [disgust]
A possible £49.50 per min/£2970 per hour-nice work if you can get it.
So much for being registered with an NHS dentist, cosmetic work has to be paid for privately.
I'm bloody fuming.[evil]

Think yourself lucky, my wife pays £15 a month just to have a dentist, private it's called, a bloody disgrace I call it and wouldn't pay it on principal, besides it would be £30 a month then. She still has to pay for all treatment only gets 3 hygiene appointments free, after which she complains of toothache after them.

And so it should be. It's the National Health Service, not the National Make-Me-Look-Good Service. ;)

You can't improve on perfection but it has to be maintained. [lol]
And another thing, the dentist is a foreigner.....hasn't take him long to catch on to rip-off Britain.
