Teeth.......?

Do you think that dental treatment should be covered by the NHS because i bloody do. i DO NOT think that its fair that you only pay for one thing no matte rhow much treatment your having E.G





Person A having a filling pays £79.00


Person B haviing filling, extraction and cleaning pays £79.00 that is wrong.





Anyway, i also believe that if you want to be put asleep during treatment you should be allowed...do you agree?

Teeth.......?
i think that we should have dental treatment on the nhs.


obviously we have to pay now and we have no choice.


i dont agree with paying one price for what ever you hvae done, thats crazy.


so if you look after your teeth and just want one small thing doing you pay the same as someone who take bad care of their teeth and they pay the same as you for a long list of treatment.


If you have to pay them pay for treatment given. its feels like a con.


yes also if you want to be put asleep you should be able to. it depends on whats been done and if you are a nervous person. been put asleep if you are a cagey type can help

Reply:i would go with the most non painful one but you wanna trust the dentist also so go for whatever you really want to do
Reply:Yea I do, I have the dentist today and the proices are not to bad but still have to pay for it.





I got a filling it cost about £12, I wanted a white filling and I was told nhs wouldnt cover it I would be charged about £75! no chance, so now I have a huge big silver filling!
Reply:i had a tooth extraction privatley and it cost me £149!!!!


rip off if you ask me, but the treatment was painless and i had the scratch and all i remember was going aggggggg as he pulled the tooth out and i spat blood all over the dentist apparently (made my day). but yes you are right NHS treatment should apply to all sides of medicine not just the cheapest!!!!!
Reply:Everyone deserves free medical. We certainly pay enough in the way of taxes to ensure that this is the case, regardless of what work is required. Consider how many billions are wasted (defence and wars, publicly funded holidays for politicians, etc.) to make this a moot point. As far as general anaesthetic is concerned - people die often enough for hospitals to get you to sign a legal indemnity/disclaimer form in case you do die. The risks are substantial, and that is the only reason why they don%26#039;t bother. It%26#039;s just not worth the risk of having you DIE for some dental work.
Reply:I think the whole argument for putting people under whilst having treatment should be laid to rest. When I was a dental nurse, which was a few years ago! (don%26#039;t worry, I am not one of those stuck up people who still think they know it all!), I had a few conversations about this and as my boss pointed out, he is a dentist, not a doctor and the risks were too high with regards to putting people under whilst in the chair. If something was to go wrong and an ambulance was needed, who could say the ambulance would turn up in time? Ok, the dentist is trained to a certain degree but they are not prepared for every eventuality. I do agree with you about the prices, extraction prices are ridiculous these days, but we have no choice. It seems as though every time the prices go up, it is like they are trying to match private prices and eventually, NHS dentistry will be gone and then no one will have a choice. Plus, dentists are leaning more and more towards working for a private dentist so it looks like either NHS dentists are going to disappear or the practises will, it is only a matter of time before one of them go.
Reply:I agree!!!





I need work done on my teeth but i cant afford it!!!! Its crazy!!!!!! Were always advised to make sure we visit the dentist regulalry- well sorry maybe if we didnt have to pay we could go!!!!!!!!!! Is an absolute joke but then again I dont know why we expect anything different in this country!!!





I was charged 50quid for a white filling- there was no way I was having a silver one so reluctantly I paid!!! I wasnt happy and havent been back since!!!!!!!!
Reply:Bill (Wales) you pranny, the rest of the NHS is free - so are you saying that everytime there is a car crash, you want the victims to pay for the hospital treatment? Or have a hip replacement? Or a cancer removed? Dear me.
Reply:Why should I pay taxes so you can keep YOUR teeth healthy?


Do I know you??? What have you EVER done for me???


Get a f*** job and stop complaining. You sponger!
