Wow! I just went to an NHS dentist for the 1st time (I had no idea that I could even find one the NHS after everything you see and hear on the news). Anyway, it was a
terrific experience. The dentist was great....she was friendly and gentle and technology wise they even beat the
Beverly Hills type dentist I used last year with my BUPA. She took some x-rays and to my suprise there was a computer screen right in front of the dental chair that I was sitting in and she showed me the x-rays and actually explained them. (Never had that before!). Interestingly, she said that one of my bottom teeth that has a large filling may need a crown but once she showed me the picture, she said...the tooth is fine so lets just watch it (unlike the Beverly Hills dentist who wanted to charge me £500+ to put a crown on..which he said was needed immediately! Which I didn't take him up on because I knew he was trying to rip me off. Ha!
Anyway, just thought I would give a positive plug to the NHS dental care!
I am happy that I now have a great dentist that isn't trying to take me to the cleaners!
