Good afternoon all,
Had my first 'elective' 6 month visit to my NHS dentist. I say elective, as under the new NHS system, I would only get a check-up every 12 - 24 months as I understand it. I am in the fortunate position of being able to afford something over and above the NHS basic standard.
There were no major issues but the dentist recommended a treatment to deal with the plaque build up. Given this was a 'private' treatment I was a little surprised to be given a date in October!
My question is - 'What the hell is going on with dentistry north of the border (or possibly nationwide)?
Regards
Richard
