@@ivansasu2701 dentists train for 5 years at least and they’re taking on huge responsibility and putting themselves at risk everyday. Hourly rate for a recently graduated UK dentist like myself is £150-£200. Most of that goes to student debt, taxes & benefits, price of renting the surgery (most dentists are associates in a practice meaning we pay the practice owner every year in exchange for using their facilities, equipment, materials and staff (nurses and others), price of any labwork, disinfection and sterilisation, extra training, memberships and exams, professional registraions that are costly (General Dental Council, Indeminity, any other affiliated organisation). I’d say our services are worth their cost. No one should expect NHS dentists to work under a contract that literally loses them money. Say an NHS treatment plan requires few fillings, an extraction, gum treatment, root canal treatment. If I do all that work, which would take at least 10 hours, the NHS generously pays me a whopping £30. That sound fair?
My nhs dentist did a rough old quick job of descaling my teeth causing my gums to bleed…the next time i went i said i dont want a descaling thanks…(its about £50 a time)…she said if i go private about £10 more they will be able to take more time…i took her advice and paid £80 deposit for the treatment..then on the day i thought i dont want to go near the place…they made £80 for nothing..that NHS dentist was awful…just a load of money grabbers..
People who keep missing appointments are clearly not interested enough to get almost free dentistry, robbing others who would actually show up from the chance to get it instead. People who keep missing appointments are wasting everybody else’s time
An NHS doctor said to me , we are paid to keep you alive. (To Keep you paying your tax to the government) Not to look after you personally. Get private otherwise.
It's the same dentists that have training which fall 40% below EU standards. Go private and you still have the sams shit dentists charging you 4 times the price...but same quality! Go abroad
Nobody can even get in to see an nhs dentist, majority are private ripping people off big time
Depends on the location I guess. South west is notoriously bad but I havent had issues in London.
Problem is people leave it until they have an issue.
Dentistry is not a cheap service! Where do people get the idea that it should be?

All the professionals in nhs are money grabbers they don’t care about doing the work properly they just want money because it’s too hard
Its basically do you want a bad dentist or go private and get mugged
Then why do they ban people for missing an appointment?
